Keeping moldability top of mind during the design process not only ensures that parts perform as intended, but can help save time and cut down on production costs. Before it even hits the factory ...

Rather than mimic the conventional functionality of a tool, something new is in the game: dissolvable molds. The soluble tooling technology uses the same printer but different materials, allowing for ...

For injection molders, the challenges of thin-wall molding require an understanding of three key areas: material, machinery, and mold design. Fundamental to successful thin-wall processing is the ...

Quality control has moved out of the ‘end of the line' zone in today's manufacturing world. It's woven into the process.

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

3D printing is all well and good for prototyping, and it can even produce useful parts. If you want real strenght in plastics, though, or to produce a LOT of parts, you probably want to step up to ...

Injection molding has long been the workhorse for producing plastic parts. It’s economical for high volumes and offers reliable and repeatable methods for most designs. Additive manufacturing, also ...
