Precision molded thermoplastic parts are used in everything from catheters and IVD cartridges to drug-delivery systems. In fact, the vast majority of medical devices include precision molded ...

Splay is one of the more common — and sometimes baffling — defects in plastic injection molded products. It is a cosmetic defect typically appearing as an off-color streak, often silver in hue, along ...

During the injection molding process, harsh conditions (high temperature, high speed) and deterioration of plastic additives can release high volumes of decomposition gases. Mold deposits, gas burns, ...

Since the technology became broadly available in 2017, a growing number of injection molders have been learning how the iMFLUX low-pressure process can reduce both cycle times and reject rates, ...

Drying of plastic resin can be a key step in the injection molding process, since too much moisture can cause a number of processing problems. Most polymers exhibit at least some level of polarity and ...

Think you’ve squeezed the maximum weight and cycle time out of your injection-molded design? Users of MuCell microcellular-foam technology beg to differ. They’ve cut part weight 8 to 12% without major ...
