Injection molding is one of those technologies that is so central to our everyday lives that we hardly notice it. We are surrounded all the time by objects created through this process. Almost everything made from plastic (which is almost everything) is made with injection molding. As a product designer, it’s important to understand this [...]
Our competent designers know what questions to ask by providing design recommendations, viable alternatives and practical assistance to assure that the customer’s requested part design or model meets their specifications. […]
1) Digital twin and the digital thread The terms digital twin and digital thread have been bandied around for a while but in 2019, most engineers are going to see both concepts in action every day. […]
In actual engineering practice, commonly-used methods for treating welding mark include: […]
Today we introduce something about plastic extrusion molding, because many products around us belong to plastic extrusion molding, The plastic extrusion molding process usually begins with a thermoplastic in the form of pellets or granules. […]
Yesterday, we share some informations about the snap latches designed onto some plastic parts, today we want to share some experience about the design of the snap latches. […]
For an Experienced molding engineer, that is a common problem, but for a fresh molding engineer, maybe It is worth mentioning, at first, in almost every plastic part, there are different thickness, thick sections cool slower than thin sections, […]
1) Ribs increase the bending stiffness of a part. Without ribs, the thickness has to be increased to increase the bending stiffness. Adding ribs increases the moment of inertia, which increases the bending stiffness. Bending stiffness = E (Young’s Modulus) x I (Moment of Inertia) […]
The Importance Of Product Design Product design is the cornerstone of successful manufacturing. In fact, product molds represent nearly 40% of the entire molding industry, underscoring just how critical the design phase is to a product's ultimate success. However, bringing a concept to life requires adherence to strict engineering rules and highly specialized expertise. It [...]
