Establishing a successful plastic injection production system requires effective machine maintenance. Downtime caused by unplanned maintenance can cause huge scheduling, production, and logistical ...

Injection molding, one of the most widely used manufacturing processes for plastic parts, is also one of the most complex. From tool design to process validation, there are countless opportunities for ...

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 ...

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, ...

Injection molding: a lot harder than you'd think! I picked up a benchtop injection molding machine to play with, and thought a "simple" double convex singlet lens would be a good first project.

This study investigates the use of industrial-grade polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for mass production of microfluidic chips through Liquid Silicone Rubber Injection Molding (LSR-IM) technologies.
