Key Factors in Plastic Injection

February 15, 2023

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Plastic products are very common in our daily lives. Cases for computers, mobile phones and electronics, daily household items, storage containers, automobile panels, furniture etc. are nearly all made of plastic. The method most often used to produce these products is a process called plastic injection. This article will address some of the key points that need to be taken into consideration during the plastic injection molding process, and what...

What is Custom Injection Molding?

February 13, 2023

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Custom injection molding is the fabrication of plastic components using customized design specifications. This service is offered by many manufacturers of plastics. The pricing varies, depending on the type of project involved, but generally custom injection molding is more expensive than using standardized components. People can present manufacturers with their specifications and the number of components they need to get a pricing estimate. In injection molding, heated plastics are shot...

RT Prototyping | Rapid Tooling

February 8, 2023

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]An Application of Rapid prototyping is Rapid tooling, this an automatic fabrication of machine tools. Tooling is one of the most costly steps in the manufacturing process. Tools are often complex and need to be wear resistant for production. To meet these requirements, molds and dies are traditionally made by CNC machining, EDM or other methods. All traditional methods are expensive and time consuming; making rapid tooling prototyping the desired...

What Are the Different Types of Prototype Tools?

February 6, 2023

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There are many different types of prototype tools available for those hoping to construct their ideal prototypes. These range from the common to the complex, the everyday to the specialized. A person building a garage-type invention, for example, may use prototype tools consisting of a hammer, nails, screw driver, and so on. More complex inventions might require sophisticated technology or large machinery. Above and beyond the mechanical side of things...

What Is Prototype Tooling?

January 11, 2023

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Prototype tooling is a way of creating a prototype from a design or three-dimensional (3D) model; in many regards, it is the same as regular tooling. Traditional tooling techniques usually are used with prototype tooling, but 3D printing also can be used to form the prototype for some needs. While this is similar to regular tooling, there are differences in how the prototype is put together and its overall functionality....

What is Coinjection?

January 9, 2023

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Coinjection is an injection molding process in which different polymers are injected into the same mold to produce a specific effect. In many cases, the desired effects include changing the physical properties of the polymers or reducing production costs. This process is also known as sandwich molding. There are two types of coinjection processes: machine based and mold based. Each type offers its own specific advantages and applications. Machine based...

WHAT IS INJECTION MOULDING? – DEFINITION, TYPES AND MATERIALS

January 2, 2023

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Injection moulding is a manufacturing process that allows for parts to be produced in large volumes. It works by injecting molten materials into a mould (or ‘mold’ in the United States). It is typically used as a mass production process to manufacture thousands of identical items. Injection moulding materials include metals, glasses, elastomers and confections, although it is most commonly used with thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. How does it Work?...

What is Injection Tooling?

December 14, 2022

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In injecting molding processes, injection tooling consists of the metal mold and fixtures into which a material, such plastic, rubber or metal, is injected to produce parts. This tooling allows parts to be mass-produced at a relatively inexpensive per part cost. These parts are used in many industries, such as automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods. A bottle cap is an example of a part created from injection molded plastics. Injecting...

What is Thermoplastic Injection Molding?

December 12, 2022

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Thermoplastic injection molding is a process used in manufacturing to create a variety of parts and components for industries ranging from aerospace to automotive to construction. Thermoplastics, such as phenolic and epoxy, are heated into a molten resin and then injected into a mold that’s usually made from aluminum, steel or a metal alloy. The molten plastic then gets compressed inside the mold and allowed to cool. Machines remove the...
