Injection molding is usually focused on high-volume production, but that doesn’t always need to be the case. The Recycled Plastic Skateboard Deck project centers on the use of injection molding for a ...

Anybrid GmbH (Dresden, Germany) is a spin-off from the Institute for Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK) at TU Dresden. ILK works with industry to develop new lightweight technologies ...

Micro-injection molding focuses on producing small, high-precision parts and components with micron tolerances. Designers who are bound strictly by a set of rules will stymie their own capability and ...

A multi-cavity mold for a larger injection press can cost more than a complete 6.6-ton Babyplast two-stage, plunger/plunger injection machine from Ferromatik Milacron priced at $23,500. And, it may be ...

A small injection molding company in Miami has big growth plans thanks in part to a new smart press that is cutting cycles times by 20% or more and calculating shot size through AI monitoring. Key ...

3D printing is all well and good for prototyping, and it can even produce useful parts. If you want real strenght in plastics, though, or to produce a LOT of parts, you probably want to step up 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: ...

Plastic is a lot easier to work with than glass, which is one of the reasons it's used so much more often. That may be about to change, though, thanks to a new process that allows glass to be ...

Kistler and FimmTech integrate sensors into training to cut costs, boost precision, and improve injection molding processes.
