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 ...

In the fast-paced world of process engineering, process development is crucial to the success or failure of a plastic injection system. Solid processes must run at 100% efficiency with preferably zero ...

Lightweight parts, energy-saving processing or combining several process steps into one. It can all be summarized under one buzzword: sustainability. A technology that is highly promising is ...

Nicolet Plastics LLC, a Wisconsin-based custom plastic injection molder providing manufacturing and engineering support for a range of industries, today announced the addition of a 360-ton two-shot ...

Most of the plastic products we use are made through injection molding, a process in which molten plastic is injected into a ...

The criteria for selecting a Liquid Silicone Rubber injection molding machine are very similar to selecting a machine for standard thermoplastic injection molding, with some key differences. Let’s ...

The color gradient in projected plastic samples reveals internal residual stress. The increasingly competitive nature of manufacturing is driving the search for technologies that offer OEMs advanced ...

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 ...

European researchers claim to have successfully demonstrated the embedment of organic PV (OPV) modules into structural plastic parts via large-scale industrial injection molding (IM). IM is a ...

Overmolding, an injection molding process, has drastically changed the aesthetics, design, and functionality of consumer products over the last decade. It is increasingly finding its way into the ...
