First, let’s establish that every process must follow normal scientific molding protocol. With pack and hold at zero, the shot should be 95 to 98% full. Temperatures and pressures should be kept as ...

The Role of Innovation in Sustainable Injection Molding Innovation plays a key role in advancing sustainability in injection ...

Precision molded thermoplastic parts are used in everything from catheters and IVD cartridges to drug-delivery systems. In fact, the vast majority of medical devices include precision molded ...

PIM uses sinterable powders to manufacture very intricate components. Unlike traditional press-and-sinter powder metallurgy processes, PIM could potentially allow the economic mass production of dense ...

Since the technology became broadly available in 2017, a growing number of injection molders have been learning how the iMFLUX low-pressure process can reduce both cycle times and reject rates, ...

Conformal cooling channels have emerged as a transformative enhancement to the injection moulding process. Unlike traditional straight-drilled channels, these channels are designed to closely follow ...

The injection blow moulding process is a key conventional process that enables the production of hollow plastic parts from a pre-moulded semi-finished piece, commonly referred to as a preform. It ...

A group of German designers have created stool seats from oddly shaped pieces of recycled plastic produced at an injection-moulding factory. Presented last week at the Ambiente trade show in Frankfurt ...

Having finished the Tools of the Trade series on circuit board assembly, let’s look at some of the common methods for doing enclosures. First, and possibly the most common, is injection molding. This ...

If you’re interested in learning more about whether 3D printers can be used for injection molding. You might be interested in a series of tests carried out by the CNC Kitchen to explore the ...
