What is wire cutting?
EDM wire cutting uses a metallic wire to cut a programmed contour in a workpiece. Extrusion dies and blanking punches and various other forms of jigs and fixtures are often machined by wire cutting. […]
What is EDM ?
The EDM is derived from Electrical Discharge Machining. The EDM process as we know it today started in 1770 with the observations of Joseph Preistly. He noticed that electrical discharges had removed material from electrodes used in his experiments. This is also known as electro-discharge erosion. Later on in the 1940's Soviet researchers developed a [...]
Introduction to insulated runner molding
In the landscape of plastic injection molding, the insulated runner injection mold emerges as a distinct option, introducing unique features to the conventional molding process. 1. Understanding Insulated Runner Injection Molds: An insulated runner injection mold is a specialized tool used in plastic injection molding. It incorporates a runner system with an insulating layer designed [...]
Introduction to cold runner molding
plastic injection molding using cold runner molds, an economical process to produce plastic parts of simple design, or when more than one color part is needed to be manufactured quickly. […]
Introduction to Dip Molding
Dip Molding is the process where a heated form or pattern is dipped into a heated or ambient temperature material. The pattern is normally dipped into molding material multiple times to build successive layers until the desired part thickness is obtained. […]
Introduction to RIM Molding (Reaction Injection Molding)
RIM Molding (Reaction Injection Molding) was developed in Germany in the 1960’s for molding urethanes. It is used currently for rigid urethane foam, flexible microcellular foam, and rigid microcellular foam. […]
enhancing the creative process with new technologies
A simple but accurate review on this new Human-Computer Interactions (HCI) angle for promoting creativity has been written by Todd Lubart, an invitation full of creative ideas to develop further this new field. […]
Creativity and intelligence
There has been debate in the psychological literature about whether intelligence and creativity are part of the same process (the conjoint hypothesis) or represent distinct mental processes (the disjoint hypothesis). […]
Creativity and mental health
A study by psychologist J. Philippe Rushton found creativity to correlate with intelligence and psychoticism. Another study found creativity to be greater in schizotypal than in either normal or schizophrenic individuals. […]
Distinguishing between creativity and innovation
It is often useful to explicitly distinguish between creativity and innovation. […]
