The first half of Going it Alone, Part III: Inside the Factory Walls appeared on CrunchGear yesterday. We pick up our survey of how consumer electronics are made with … “One Word: Plastics”. Injection ...

Static mixers in hot runners improve polymer mixing while 3D simulation accelerates design optimization for injection molding.

Parts or runners sticking can cause frustration for any injection molder. Runners sticking can lead to dry shots or cause the press to go down frequently when the robot detects missing parts. Parts ...

Keeping moldability top of mind during the design process not only ensures that parts perform as intended, but can help save time and cut down on production costs. Before it even hits the factory ...

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 ...

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 ...

The clarion call for a more sustainable plastics industry is something every company across the value chain must address. For its part, Korea’s LS Mtron has created its sandwich injection molding ...
