First, let’s establish that every process must follow normal scientific molding protocol. With pack and hold at zero, the shot should be 95 to 98% full. Temperatures and pressures should be kept as ...

In the fast-paced world of process engineering, process development is crucial to the success or failure of a plastic injection system. Solid processes must run at 100% efficiency with preferably zero ...

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 ...

In blow molding with non-conformal temperature control, changes in environmental thermal conditions can affect product quality even when machine settings remain unchanged. Conventional studies often ...

Injection moulding is a widely adopted manufacturing technology for mass-producing plastic components with intricate geometries and tight tolerances. The process comprises sequential phases: melting ...

At Automatica, during conversations with procurement engineers from several European robotics companies, one question kept coming up: “Do you only do plastic injection molding, or can you handle metal ...

The American Injection Molding Institute is partnering with Pennsylvania Western University to develop a concentration in plastics injection molding under a PennWest degree program. The concentration ...

Plastic materials are prone to degradation by atmospheric oxygen. These auto-oxidation reactions occur at ambient temperature but become especially relevant during melt processing. Adding antioxidants ...
