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 ...

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 ...

Erie, Pa. — The American Injection Molding (AIM) Institute continues to teach the art of injection molding. More than 3,000 students have taken at least one course in person or online at Erie, ...

The molding machine has vital elements to promote the correct formation of parts from the plastic. These parts include hopper, barrel, screw, heaters, movable platen, nozzle, mold, and mold cavity. In ...

Purging a plastic injection molding machine with resin or regrind for color changes or carbon removal often leads to costly waste and lost production time. Along with the right purging compound, there ...

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 ...

European researchers claim to have successfully demonstrated the embedment of organic PV (OPV) modules into structural plastic parts via large-scale industrial injection molding (IM). IM is a ...
