For every cold beer on the front porch and packed sandwich on a camping trip, coolers are an absolute necessity. Over the last few years, hard coolers have become increasingly high-tech, with ...

Injection overmolding of unidirectional fibers and preforms is an attractive process for many good reasons. It’s fast, consistent and repeatable, and it can be performed with a machine that is ...

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.

Recently [Stefan] of CNC Kitchen took a gander at using his gaggle of 3D printers to try injection molding (IM). Although the IM process generally requires metal molds and specialized machinery, 3D ...

A Michigan inventor says the future is in plastics and wood as injection molded composites. Wood-plastic composites are not new. They are widely used in decking and other construction projects to ...

Researchers have developed a new processing technique that could enable mass production of intricate, high-performance glass objects that cost as little as plastic ones (Science 2021, DOI: ...

For decades, injection molding has developed into a predictable, repeatable manufacturing process, built on an understanding of cause and effect. The application of scientific principles to injection ...

In the world of modern manufacturing, selecting the right material and production process can make or break a product’s success. Among the wide array of thermoplastics available today, Acrylonitrile ...
