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 ...

Processing in plastic injection can be a tricky business. It takes a strong and knowledgable approach toward process setup when adjustments are being made to a process. Materials respond in different ...

Metal Injection Molding combines the shaping capabilities of plastic injection molding with the material flexibility of ...

Unstable and uncontrolled processes account for most financial drains in the injection molding process. Between 60 and 70% of all molding errors can be traced back to the tempering of the injection ...

During the injection molding process, harsh conditions (high temperature, high speed) and deterioration of plastic additives can release high volumes of decomposition gases. Mold deposits, gas burns, ...

Injection molding is a critical manufacturing process, and has been so for a long time. It still has room to improve in several areas however, and “smart” injection molding equipment is gaining ...

Drying of plastic resin can be a key step in the injection molding process, since too much moisture can cause a number of processing problems. Most polymers exhibit at least some level of polarity and ...

Think you’ve squeezed the maximum weight and cycle time out of your injection-molded design? Users of MuCell microcellular-foam technology beg to differ. They’ve cut part weight 8 to 12% without major ...
