1) Process Basics Gas Assist Injection Molding is a process enhancement to conventional injection molding, involving the injection of high-pressure nitrogen gas into the resin melt-stream immediately after injection of the resin. […]
Mazda Motor Corporation has developed a new plastic molding technology that enables a substantial reduction in the weight of plastic parts used in vehicles. This plastic molding manufacturing technique cuts the consumption of plastic resins that are used as raw material by approximately 20 to 30 percent, with associated reductions in vehicle weight. [...]
Molding Technologies The manufacture of aspherical lenses and diffractive-optical elements, which have structures designed to diffract light on their surfaces, is made possible through mold-making technology, the most advanced technology used in lens production. […]
The process cycle for injection molding is very short, typically between 2 seconds and 2 minutes, and consists of the following four stages: […]
Over-mold injection molding and two-shot injection molding are two distinctly different molding methods even though both are used to combine multiple polymers into a single part. Because of this similarity, […]
Based on the high-speed development of auto industry and daily expending market requirement, Mould industry own more and more wider developing space, Plastic Mould take the whole mould industry 30% ratio. […]
Choosing plastic mold steel is a very important process in mold manufacturing, because the classification of plastic mold are generally on the length of plastic mold by 5 grades, grade1 is over a million times; grade 2 is 500,000-100 million; grade3 is from 300,000 to 500,000; grade4 is from 100,000 to 300,000, grade 5 is [...]
Candle making is probably one of the earliest dip molding/coating processes used in the industry. It is still in use today. Dip coating has also been an important branch of food processing. For example, chocolate and/or caramel are often coated on many nuts, cookies, and dry or fresh fruits. Dip molding and coating were widely [...]
Metal Injection Molding (MIM) is a variation on traditional plastic injection molding that enables the fabrication of solid metal parts utilizing injection molding technology. […]
Some designers would like to think that making things from recycled materials or designing them for marginally longer life will save the world, but in truth much of it will end up in landfill regardless. Take a drinks bottle – Do you buy a bottle made with recycled content, or use a refillable bottle? [...]
