As detailed in the article “Rapid Injection Molding: 5 Things Engineers Need to Know” on Engineering.com, the evolution of plastic injection processing has transformed it from an art to a scientific process. Pioneers like John Bozzelli, Don Paulson, and RJG have provided processors with tools to validate plastics processing and employ historical data to identify changes within established process systems.
Highlighting the criticality of addressing defects, the article initiates a series named “The Troubleshooter,” offering insights and solutions for various defect scenarios. Specifically, it focuses on flash, an all-too-common defect in plastics, emphasizing the aim to eliminate trimming for better inspection and customer satisfaction. It also stresses the cost implications and the importance of identifying specific types of flash before considering process changes.
