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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
COVID-19 has brought trouble to the global supply chain. It exposed weaknesses that hindered the flow of business. Now, as the world takes steps to define a new post-epidemic normalized business model, manufacturers are rethinking their supply chains. Therefore, European and American companies have new requirements for overseas suppliers, that is, they need to create [...]

Many mold builders and tooling engineers are in pursuit of the perfect tool for trying conformal cooling when in fact, the perfect mold is the one which they are currently struggling with, or the one simulation data determines will be a struggle. Then there are the processors who slow down mold cycles because of a [...]
Many people simply think that the meaning of Procurement and Sourcing is the same, and it is used as the same word in many reports， In fact, Procurement and Sourcing are still very different. […]
