Discover how to prevent flash defects in injection molding with better mold design, maintenance, and process optimization.

Measuring cavity pressure during the injection molding process is an effective way to optimize production. This requires the use of sensors to capture data and, perhaps more importantly, interpreting ...

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 ...

Injection molding is a highly-engineered process that demands careful planning and attention to detail if the finished product is to achieve its full potential. The tips in this article should help ...

Since the technology became broadly available in 2017, a growing number of injection molders have been learning how the iMFLUX low-pressure process can reduce both cycle times and reject rates, ...

Injection molding is widely used in the manufacture of plastic parts ranging from simple, everyday items to complex products requiring precision tooling and process optimization equipment. During a ...

If you’re interested in learning more about whether 3D printers can be used for injection molding. You might be interested in a series of tests carried out by the CNC Kitchen to explore the ...

The injection molding process begins with the user pouring a liquid elastomer mixture into the injection chamber. Saltgator offers its own system-specific SoftGel material, although the company is ...

Metal Injection Molding combines the shaping capabilities of plastic injection molding with the material flexibility of powder metallurgy. Steve Santoro, executive VP for MICRO, speaks to MD+DI about ...

Plastic medical parts are sometimes machined, but frequently they are produced using plastic injection molding instead.

Recently [Stefan] of CNC Kitchen took a gander at using his gaggle of 3D printers to try injection molding (IM). Although the IM process generally requires metal molds and specialized machinery, 3D ...
