[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Rubbers are a family of polymeric materials based on the chemistry of natural rubber latex. While there are many synthetic rubbers in the market, they share a basic chemical composition with natural rubbers. Rubber is a cost-effective solution for many applications, but its physical properties often prevent superior performance. Unlike rubber, polyurethane offers higher load-bearing capacity, better compression set, and superior tolerance to greases, oils, oxygen, and ozone. Because rubber...

CIM technology is similar to metal injection molding (MIM) technology. They are the main branches of powder injection molding (PIM) technology and are developed based on relatively mature polymer injection molding technology. For mass production of ceramic products with high dimensional accuracy and complex shapes,...
Read More[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Rotary wheel blow molding systems are used for the high-output production of a wide variety of plastic extrusion blow molded articles. Containers may be produced from small, single serve bottles to large containers up to 20-30 liters in volume - but wheel machines are often sized for the volume and dimensional demands of a specific container, and are typically dedicated to a narrow range of bottle sizes once built. Multiple...

During the plastic injection process a “Hot Runner” ensures that the plastic passing through the runner stays molten by heating the runner. Temperatures along the entire runner, from the barrel outlet of the injection molding machine to the gate at the mold, are in a constant state of flux. By using heating rods and heating rings near the runner, a high-temperature state is maintained and...

Niigata will be demonstrating the Shot Maker by molding a foldable phone holder from a family tool. The 6-cavity tool makes three different sizes of the phone holders, with two cavities forming one holder. The smallest shot size...
Read More[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Thermoforming or vacuum forming is a common method of processing plastic materials, and vacuum formed products are ubiquitous in daily life. The process involves heating a plastic sheet until soft and then placing it over a mold. A vacuum then draws the soft sheet into the mold. The sheet is allowed to cool and is then removed from the mold. What is Vacuum Forming? Vacuum forming is a thermoforming process....
Read More[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Several modern conveniences that we enjoy every day are made possible thanks to vacuum forming. Without this versatile manufacturing process, life-saving medical devices, food packaging, and automobiles might look very different. In this guide, you will find an in-depth introduction to vacuum forming, including: An overview of the vacuum forming process. How to create molds for vacuum forming. The benefits and limitations of vacuum forming. How vacuum forming is used...
Read More[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Many people do not understand what a mold is. A mold (sometimes called a mould) is a block of material with a hollowed-out cavity that has a shape cut into sides of the cavity. Liquid or pliable material is pushed into the cavity where it adopts the shape of the hollowed out section. After the liquid hardens or sets inside the mold, or the pliable material has been pressed into...
