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 ...

Designing plastic parts that can be molded has always been important for traditional injection molding processes, but it’s particularly beneficial for parts about to be rapid injection molded (RIM) to ...

An injection molding plant is a type of material-processing plant. Injection molding plants may serve as secondary processors that take raw plastic and form it to create parts for other end ...

The injection molding process begins with the user pouring a liquid elastomer mixture into the injection chamber. Saltgator offers its own system-specific SoftGel material, although the company is ...

Injection molding is a highly-engineered process that demands careful planning and attention to detail if the finished product is to achieve its full potential. The tips in this article should help ...

Injection molding machines are able to form very detailed plastic parts, simply by squirting plastic into a mold. 3D printers squirt plastic. Why no one thought of using a 3D printer extruder to push ...

Metal Injection Molding is changing medical device manufacturing by enabling the production of intricate, high-quality ...

The measurement and control of temperature plays a significant role in injection molding, but most injection molding machines do not have enough temperature measuring points or circuits, despite the ...

Manufacturers use AI and design of experiments to optimize injection molding, cut costs, and speed time-to-market for complex ...

Plastic injection processing has changed immensely over the last 30 years, evolving from an art to a science. Processing pioneers John Bozzelli, Don Paulson, and RJG gave processors tools not only to ...

An injection molded, threaded cap made from a 3D-printed metal mold insert, right, created on a Mantle P-200 machine. Within reach of you right now are probably five to 10 plastic products, or parts ...
