Reaction injection molding is used in many industries for many types of parts. While bumpers for vehicles are produced in this process, most applications are for large, complex parts produced in quantities less than 5,000 units. […]
A quality hot runner system is one of the more important enhancements you can incorporate into a mold to improve molded part quality, reduce production times and remain price competitive. […]
Injection molding is a complex technology with possible production problems. They can either be caused by defects in the molds or more often by part processing (molding) […]
The mold consists of two primary components, the injection mold (A plate) and the ejector mold (B plate). Plastic resin enters the mold through a sprue in the injection mold, the sprue bushing is to seal tightly against the nozzle of the injection barrel of the molding machine and to allow molten plastic to flow [...]
Although most injection molding processes are covered by the conventional process description above, there are several important molding variations including: […]
It is important when designing products for injection molding that you consider how they will be formed in the machine, how they will be taken out of the machine, and the structure of the final product. Some important guidelines are: […]
Plastic injection mould manufacture is a highly competitive operation. Today’s products have shorter lifecycles. Reducing the mould design and manufacturing lead-time while maintaining high mould quality is thus a challenge to the plastic injection mould making industry in or to remain competitive. […]
Mould Flow Analysis, Mould flow simulation allows optimisation of the part and mould design by adjusting areas such as gate positions, wall thickness and cooling parameters to help achieve success. […]
Provides unique, economic solutions to increasingly stringent material and product design requirements […]
The continuous strides forward in science and technology lead to ever increasing demands on materials. Ceramics have significant advantages characterised by their outstanding physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal and/or electrical properties. […]
