Keeping up with the latest production best practices is a smart — and crucial — decision, regardless of whether it pertains to CNC machining, 3D printing, or, as in this case, injection molding.

Smart manufacturing uses AI and real-time data to boost injection molding quality, cut costs and predict equipment issues.

Injection molding is the obvious onward step from 3D printing when the making of a few plastic parts becomes their series manufacture. The problem with injection molding is though, that making a mold ...

Over the decades, ASTM shear test methods, from lamina-level to multidirectional laminate-level, have continued to evolve as composite applications require higher shear strengths.

Plastic part manufacturers are always looking for ways to reduce cycle time and get more productivity out of their injection molding machinery. One of the longstanding constraints in injection molding ...

Is it possible to injection mold a plastic part using mold tooling that is also made of plastic? 3D printing technology provider Stratasys says this is not only possible, but preferable in some cases.

Engineers at AGS Technology Inc., Schaumburg, Ill., have devised a better way to recycle plastic scrap and make it more suitable for injection molding. The company’s proprietary Injectoblend material ...
