Injection molded plastics have revolutionized design, innovation, and manufacturing in the 20th century. Before 1950, most products were manufactured in stamped steel, die-cast aluminum, zinc, and ...

You’ve likely seen many tutorials on making silicone parts using 3D printed molds online. The vast majority of these methods use a simple pour method to fill the mold. This relies on careful degassing ...

Micro-injection molding focuses on producing small, high-precision parts and components with micron tolerances. Designers who are bound strictly by a set of rules will stymie their own capability and ...

3D printing has made it incredibly easy to produce small runs of plastic parts, but getting rid of the 3D printed look can be tricky and time-consuming. When you need a smooth and polished finish, or ...

We’ve made hundreds of thousands of molds over the years! With that much experience, it goes with the territory that we’ve seen designs in which injection molding expertise is evident, and other ...

Machine and process troubleshooting are the most important factors in controlling process and reducing defects. Poorly performing presses lead to process variance and uncontrollable scrap events, and ...

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: ...

Micro molding is a molding process for the manufacture of plastic components for shot weights of 1 to 0.1 g with tolerances in the range of 10 to 100 microns. This molding process allows manufacturers ...

Though it’s been around since the 1970s, resin transfer molding (RTM) continues to grow in popularity due to its ability to efficiently make strong and excellent quality parts in production quantities ...
