Design a perfect injection molding product
The biggest challenge in injection molding is the process of designing a mold. There are almost no limits to your creativity , but you can do the designs in clever and less clever way from a manufacturing point of view. Plastic manufacturers highlight this aspect as the most crucial part of injection molding. There will [...]
Understanding Injection molding costs
While injection molding may seem costly compared to processes like CNC machining and 3D printing, the ability to scale and manufacture thousands of parts makes it a cost-effective solution for mass production. Determining the cost of injection molding is a combination of several factors. The main determinant of molding cost is the amount of time [...]
Moldflow can really help your injection molding
The injection molding process does not require mold flow analysis. But maybe it should be, especially considering that it helps predict production problems before production starts. Mold flow analysis software can simulate the injection molding cycle, using specific plastics and part designs. It evaluates the manufacturability of the design before manufacturing the mold. In this [...]
