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 ...

Researchers in Germany have developed a process monitoring and control system for injection molding cells that automatically detects deviations in product quality, identifies the most likely cause, ...

Unstable and uncontrolled processes account for most financial drains in the injection molding process. Between 60 and 70% of all molding errors can be traced back to the tempering of the injection ...

Injection molding is a critical manufacturing process, and has been so for a long time. It still has room to improve in several areas however, and “smart” injection molding equipment is gaining ...

Metal Injection Molding is changing medical device manufacturing by enabling the production of intricate, high-quality ...

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, ...

Think you’ve squeezed the maximum weight and cycle time out of your injection-molded design? Users of MuCell microcellular-foam technology beg to differ. They’ve cut part weight 8 to 12% without major ...

Drying of plastic resin can be a key step in the injection molding process, since too much moisture can cause a number of processing problems. Most polymers exhibit at least some level of polarity and ...

Lightweight parts, energy-saving processing or combining several process steps into one. It can all be summarized under one buzzword: sustainability. A technology that is highly promising is ...
