Assemblies that do not require connectors or fasteners such as nails, bolts, adhesives, or solder to bind the materials together have the advantage of fewer points of weakness. Even during assembly, many components are scrapped due to fastener failures such as stripped threads or damage to the screw head. Ultrasonic welding overcomes these manufacturing challenges […]
Are you looking for a way to improve the efficiency of your manufacturing operations? If so, you may have heard about plastic injection molding. This is a manufacturing process that takes molten plastic, puts it in a mold, and then cools the plastic in that mold. Then, when the plastic is released from the mold, […]
Plastic injection molding has become a cornerstone of numerous industries because of the wide variety of benefits it provides. As technology continues to progress, plastic injection molding only becomes more important. It is critical to take a closer look at some of the benefits of plastic injection molding so that companies can properly apply this […]
Plastic injection molding has grown significantly in popularity during the past few years because it is a cost-effective, fast, and durable way to produce components for a variety of systems. As technology has progressed, the applications of plastic injection molding have grown as well. Take a look at some of the most common industries in […]
Are you looking for a specialist who can help you with plastic injection molding? If so, you need to think carefully about who you decide to work with. While you have plenty of options when you are looking for a plastic injection molding team, you must take the time to carefully evaluate your options so […]
Steel tools empower humanity to shape wood, plastic and metal into the billions of items that enhance the quality of life. With tool steel, two words loom large: edge and impact. Steel alloys with relatively high carbon content are easier to sharpen to a fine edge, and this sharpness can endure the rigors of production. […]
In the rush of daily life, people have hundreds of interactions with components formed by die-casting and injection molding methods. Understanding these two related processes can help entrepreneurs ensure success for their manufacturing projects. How Die Casting and Injection Molding Work Die casting and injection molding are two processes that share a single principle. A […]
Prototype injection molds are useful when quickly producing limited test runs to identify and remove defects. Whether made of aluminum or steel, these molds take far less time to produce and are more economical for smaller runs to make prototypes used for evaluating and testing a design. Production injection molds require more testing, time, and […]
Overmolding Injection molding can be used to create multi-layered items with multiple materials. The process starts similar to any injection molding process. A steel, aluminum or other material is used to create a mold. The mold is made to not only match the specific component being created, but also to allow for expansion or shrinkage […]
The plastic injection molding process is a manufacturing technique used to produce molded plastic components. Manufacturers worldwide utilize this technique to mass-produce all kinds of goods, from cell phone cases to garbage cans. The parts are created by inserting plastic materials melted by heat into a mold, then cooling the product and waiting for it […]
