Joseph,
I think you are confusing the materials you mentioned above. From an
injection molders stand point, nylon and polystyrene are thermoplastics,
that when injected into a mold, form a rigid plastic part. Not to be
confused with the polystyrene and nylon materials used in the clothing
industry. Fabric and thermoplastic resins aren't quite the same. I am not
aware of any technology that can injection mold fabric into a tool.
later,
John
