For moldmakers who wish they could simulate the molding process without having to build a prototype mold first, Sigmasoft software, designed for 3D injection molding process simulation, may be the ...

Engineers must accurately predict thermal stabilization and calibrate simulation software to achieve consistent quality in ...

ProMed, a contract manufacturer specializing in liquid silicone rubber (LSR) and highly regulated combination products, has announced new process refinements in the LSR injection molding process ...

Injection moulding is a widely adopted manufacturing technology for mass-producing plastic components with intricate geometries and tight tolerances. The process comprises sequential phases: melting ...

Injection molding is a critical manufacturing process, and has been so for a long time. It still has room to improve in several areas however, and “smart” injection molding equipment is gaining ...

Analytical simulation and modeling of unit manufacturing processes based on knowledge of the underlying process physics and validated by experimental results is becoming a powerful tool to advance the ...

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 ...

Figure 1. Pressurized nitrogen gas is injected into a melt to penetrate the part via a network of thicker cross-sectioned gas channels (click to enlarge). Gas-assist injection molding was developed ...
