Quality control has moved out of the ‘end of the line' zone in today's manufacturing world. It's woven into the process.

During the injection molding process, harsh conditions (high temperature, high speed) and deterioration of plastic additives can release high volumes of decomposition gases. Mold deposits, gas burns, ...

Plastic injection molding stands as a ubiquitous and indispensable technique in the production of plastic parts, wielding its influence across an array of industries such as automotive, electronics, ...

This paper presents a novel method to eliminate halo gloss transition surface defects commonly found on large-scale injection-molded parts. Due to the increasing importance of product appearance and ...

Smart manufacturing uses AI and real-time data to boost injection molding quality, cut costs and predict equipment issues.

Keeping up with the latest production best practices is a smart — and crucial — decision, regardless of whether it pertains to CNC machining, 3D printing, or, as in this case, injection molding.

While 3D printing has now become easily accessible and cheap, there are still several use cases where you need the advantages offered by injection molding, even for small batch runs. Professional ...

The injection molding process begins with the user pouring a liquid elastomer mixture into the injection chamber. Saltgator offers its own system-specific SoftGel material, although the company is ...

Recently [Stefan] of CNC Kitchen took a gander at using his gaggle of 3D printers to try injection molding (IM). Although the IM process generally requires metal molds and specialized machinery, 3D ...
