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 ...

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 ...

BUTLER, Wis.—Molded Rubber & Plastics Corp. has taken what it believes to be a gigantic step forward in refining its molding processes. Executives from the company that began 93 years ago as the ...

Erie Pa. — A low-pressure injection molding machine that can use multiple extruders that heat the melt in an electrically heated barrel, then pump the material into the mold gives low shear, lower ...

Hill Helicopters engineered composite main rotor blades using a novel single-cure manufacturing process for stiffness and ...

The hybrid-composite rear load floor uses unidirectional (UD) thermoplastic tapes plus direct-long-fiber thermoplastic (D-LFT) composites. Thermoplastic tapes provided high stiffness/strength in a ...

The plastics industry continues to seek solutions to help it meet circular economy demands. As pressure builds for the industry to increase the amount of recycled plastics used in manufacturing, ...

Penn State researchers have developed the first powder injection molding process for pure niobium, a biocompatible material similar to platinum and titanium but cheaper. Penn State researchers have ...
