Molding is prevalent throughout the medical device industry. But to achieve consistency and repeatability in the fabrication of molded components and devices, some manufacturers employ a concept ...

The injection blow moulding process is a key conventional process that enables the production of hollow plastic parts from a pre-moulded semi-finished piece, commonly referred to as a preform. It ...

Processing in plastic injection can be a tricky business. It takes a strong and knowledgable approach toward process setup when adjustments are being made to a process. Materials respond in different ...

Materials are among the most critical elements in many designs, so engineers need to stay up to date on materials advances. But, when you talk about materials, you have to talk about process, too.

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 ...

For a camera enclosure part, pre-consolidated carbon fiber is rolled out onto the Eastman S125 cutting table. Precision cutting enables Rapid Composites’ ultra-fast composite molding process. Speed, ...

Since the technology became broadly available in 2017, a growing number of injection molders have been learning how the iMFLUX low-pressure process can reduce both cycle times and reject rates, ...

Penn State researchers have developed the first powder injection molding process for pure niobium, a biocompatible material similar to platinum and titanium but cheaper. Penn State researchers have ...

Imagine a world where creating custom-fit products is as simple as reshaping a mold with the push of a button. This isn’t a distant dream—it’s the reality offered by PolyMorphic Moulding, a new ...

Shindo noncrimp fabrics (NCFs) have been used for various products in the aerospace, marine, civil construction, and repair and reinforcement fields. There are four features that characterize this new ...

Thermoplastic composite materials are easy to manage because they do not involve chemical reactions during moulding and have high toughness due to the molecular structure in which the polymer is ...
