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 ...

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 ...

Injection molding is one of the technologies that makes the world go round. But what does it actually look like to go through the whole process to get a part made? [Achim Haug] wrote up a blog post ...

European researchers claim to have successfully demonstrated the embedment of organic PV (OPV) modules into structural plastic parts via large-scale industrial injection molding (IM). IM is a ...

Many people don’t realize that an injection molding machine is something they can build themselves, even without a machine shop or other extensive setup. The hosts of the Canadian YouTube channel ...

Erie Pa. — A low-pressure injection molding machine that can use multiple extruders that heat the melt in an electrically heated barrel, then pump the material into the mold gives low shear, lower ...

Purging a plastic injection molding machine with resin or regrind for color changes or carbon removal often leads to costly waste and lost production time. Along with the right purging compound, there ...

Researchers have developed a new processing technique that could enable mass production of intricate, high-performance glass objects that cost as little as plastic ones (Science 2021, DOI: ...

An injection molded, threaded cap made from a 3D-printed metal mold insert, right, created on a Mantle P-200 machine. Within reach of you right now are probably five to 10 plastic products, or parts ...
