[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Molding pressure typically refers to a measurement of force within an injection molding machine. In injection molding, plastic resins are melted and pushed into a steel or aluminum mold, fabricating small plastic parts. The mold pressure determines with what force the melted resin is forced through the machine and injected into the awaiting mold. Solid plastic objects can be fabricated using a process called injection molding. An injection molding machine...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We take software prototyping seriously. Prototyping—in particular, rapid prototyping—is the best way to make sure we, as AndPlus developers, understand what our customers expect the software to do and how it will perform in supporting their business processes. Prototyping in software development is the process of building a simulated user interface for purposes of ideation, evaluation, and user feedback. Modern software prototypes are interactive. They mimic as closely as possible...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Thanks to technological advancements, the rapid prototyping industry has seen stunning amounts of growth over the last ten years. This booming market is worth millions of dollars and is responsible for a major revolution in the way that associated manufacturers design and create new parts. Quick Insights The rapid prototyping market accounts for material suppliers, manufacturers and distributors, and the engineers and designers who rely on these products. Rapid prototyping...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Rapid prototyping (RP) is a manufacturing method where 3D models or prototypes are created using computer-aided design software. The purpose of RP is to reduce development time and costs by creating accurate representations of future designs prior to full production. The term ‘rapid’ refers to the speed at which these models can be produced. RP was originally developed in the 1970s and 1980s as a way to produce plastic molds...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Injection molding is a process of shaping plastic by melting it and injecting it into a predesigned mold. The process was first designed in the 1930s and was originally based on metal die casting designs. It offers many advantages to alternative manufacturing methods, including minimal losses from scrap (since scrap pieces can be melted and recycled), and minimal finishing requirements. This process differs from metal die casting in that molten...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One of the top causes of cosmetic rejects in molded parts is bubbles. This troublesome part defect not only results in appearance problems but impairs physical properties as well. Bubbles are a common occurrence and are often difficult to resolve. In troubleshooting bubbles, many molders make the mistake of guessing at what the bubbles are, and then immediately start adjusting process parameters to eliminate them. I urge you to resist...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What Is Rapid Prototyping? Rapid prototyping is a technology that takes a three-dimensional computer model and builds a three-dimensional part by building layers upon layers of material. Its speed and low cost allow design teams to confirm their new designs early and frequently in the process. Step 1 Start with a 3-dimensional computer model. Typically, they are created in 3D CAD products like Solid Works, Rhino, Pro/E, Mechanical Desktop, etc....

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]With Scientific Molding, two stages are used for forming the part: The first stage for getting most of the plastic into the part, normally 90% to 99.9% full by volume; and the second stage, to pack the part to replicate the steel cavity texture and shape. The second stage usually moves relatively little plastic in the cavity but it is critically important for surface finish, cosmetics, and part dimensions. Most...
Read More[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....
Read More[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A year ago, as the first images of healthcare workers being vaccinated against COVID-19 were broadcast, and well before we all began an unwanted lesson in the Greek alphabet, I would not have thought my predictions post for 2022 would mention the “C” word through anything but a retrospective view. Yet, as I write this, daily cases numbers and total hospitalizations are at new peaks. The pandemic is very much...
