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

Injection molding is widely used in the manufacture of plastic parts ranging from simple, everyday items to complex products requiring precision tooling and process optimization equipment. During a ...

Purging a plastic injection molding machine with resin or regrind for color changes or carbon removal often leads to costly waste and lost production time. Along with the right purging compound, there ...

Recently [Stefan] of CNC Kitchen took a gander at using his gaggle of 3D printers to try injection molding (IM). Although the IM process generally requires metal molds and specialized machinery, 3D ...

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 ...

Co-injection technology has been in existence for more than three decades, but recently transformed into a mainstream alternative for manufacturers in plastics processing. As consumer demands continue ...

3D printing is all well and good for prototyping, and it can even produce useful parts. If you want real strenght in plastics, though, or to produce a LOT of parts, you probably want to step up to ...

An advanced metal injection-molding technology makes it possible to build heatsinks and liquid-cooled cold plates in any shape. An advanced metal injection-molding technology makes it possible to ...

Researchers have developed a new processing technique that could enable mass production of intricate, high-performance glass objects that cost as little as plastic ones (Science 2021, DOI: ...
