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 ...

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 ...

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

The injection blow moulding process is a key conventional process that enables the production of hollow plastic parts from a pre-moulded semi-finished piece, commonly referred to as a preform. It ...

Penn State researchers have developed the first powder injection molding process for pure niobium, a biocompatible material similar to platinum and titanium but cheaper. Penn State researchers have ...

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 ...

PIM uses sinterable powders to manufacture very intricate components. Unlike traditional press-and-sinter powder metallurgy processes, PIM could potentially allow the economic mass production of dense ...

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 ...

Makers, developers, and hobbyists interested in building their very own desktop DIY injection moulding machine may be interested in a new video posted to the Buster Beagle 3D YouTube channel. This ...

A group of German designers have created stool seats from oddly shaped pieces of recycled plastic produced at an injection-moulding factory. Presented last week at the Ambiente trade show in Frankfurt ...
