Keeping up with the latest production best practices is a smart — and crucial — decision, regardless of whether it pertains to CNC machining, 3D printing, or, as in this case, injection molding.

Injection molding is the obvious onward step from 3D printing when the making of a few plastic parts becomes their series manufacture. The problem with injection molding is though, that making a mold ...

Smart manufacturing uses AI and real-time data to boost injection molding quality, cut costs and predict equipment issues.

The hydrogen storage cylinder lining was taken as the research object. The injection model of the cylinder liner was developed employing 3D software, a two-cavity injection molding system was built, ...

Plastic injection molding stands as a ubiquitous and indispensable technique in the production of plastic parts, wielding its influence across an array of industries such as automotive, electronics, ...

Is it possible to injection mold a plastic part using mold tooling that is also made of plastic? 3D printing technology provider Stratasys says this is not only possible, but preferable in some cases.

Over the decades, ASTM shear test methods, from lamina-level to multidirectional laminate-level, have continued to evolve as composite applications require higher shear strengths.

Plastic part manufacturers are always looking for ways to reduce cycle time and get more productivity out of their injection molding machinery. One of the longstanding constraints in injection molding ...

Engineers at AGS Technology Inc., Schaumburg, Ill., have devised a better way to recycle plastic scrap and make it more suitable for injection molding. The company’s proprietary Injectoblend material ...

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 ...
