Precision molded thermoplastic parts are used in everything from catheters and IVD cartridges to drug-delivery systems. In fact, the vast majority of medical devices include precision molded ...

When setting up a plastic injection molding process, two fundamentals are the setpoints for clamp and ejector speeds and positions. Failure to set up the clamp properly can lead to a damaged mold or ...

Injection molding is cool. Well hot actually, but dad jokes aside it’s a pretty simple process in theory, but requires specific tooling and equipment, plus real experience, to create OE level parts ...

Injection molding is one of the technologies that makes the world go round. But what does it actually look like to go through the whole process to get a part made? [Achim Haug] wrote up a blog post ...

3D printing is all well and good for prototyping, and it can even produce useful parts. If you want real strenght in plastics, though, or to produce a LOT of parts, you probably want to step up to ...

Opinions expressed by Digital Journal contributors are their own. Custom plastic injection molding is a highly useful processing method, but its complexity makes finding the right IM partner a must ...

In school, I learned how to design metal parts, but resin part design was never covered in class. Injection molding, in particular, differs significantly from metal part manufacturing, so I had to ...

Why do Injection Molds need vents? This is a very crucial question about injection molds. Fundamentally, vents in injection molds are needed to solve a simple but critical problem: when molten plastic ...

As global manufacturers continue to demand greater precision, shorter development cycles, and more reliable production processes, the injection molding and tooling industry is undergoing continuous ...
