First, let’s establish that every process must follow normal scientific molding protocol. With pack and hold at zero, the shot should be 95 to 98% full. Temperatures and pressures should be kept as ...

For injection molders, automation helps plastics processing companies gain efficiencies in their production processes and compete in a global market. Injection molders have been attracted to ...

The Metal Injection Molding (MIM) process is a game changer in manufacturing. It combines the design flexibility of Plastic Injection Molding with the strength and integrity of wrought metals, ...

In the fast-paced world of process engineering, process development is crucial to the success or failure of a plastic injection system. Solid processes must run at 100% efficiency with preferably zero ...

Lightweight parts, energy-saving processing or combining several process steps into one. It can all be summarized under one buzzword: sustainability. A technology that is highly promising is ...

To improve the application of carbon black (CB)-filled polymer composites, we investigated the relationship between the processing parameters, microstructure and electrical properties of injection ...

Extrusion and injection molding are the most important conversion techniques used by the thermoplastics processing industry. Certain factors need to be considered before a thermoplastics material is ...

Penn State researchers have developed the first powder injection molding process for pure niobium, a biocompatible material similar to platinum and titanium but cheaper. Penn State researchers have ...

There’s a good chance your brain’s already checked out on this shortened work week. But if you can still muster a thought process or two, you won’t be disappointed by Bill Hammack’s—aka ...
