The fast-growing demand for injection molded microfluidic devices requires the capability to maintain dimensional precision during manufacturing. The control of shrinkage, which is required for good ...

Because so much shrinkage happens during the injection molding of semi-crystalline thermoplastics, these materials usually require longer hold times. In standard injection molding processes, applying ...

Extrusion and injection molding are the most important conversion techniques used by the thermoplastics processing industry. Certain factors need to be considered before a thermoplastics material is ...

With the miniaturization of many products, manufacturers are streamlining devices to pack more features into smaller packages. For instance, the pitch (spacing) between contacts in electrical ...

About 50 billion plastic screw caps are made annually, and demand is rising all the time. In the game between the two rival production processes, neither holds all the aces. When it comes to choosing ...

High Consistency Rubber (HCR) silicone injection molding requires special considerations to manufacture quality parts. The selection of the press, mold design, and gate design are integral to success.
