Designing plastic parts that have complex characteristics such as a side hole or a locking clip feel amazing. Parting a normal two part mold can only be able to release these undercut features by entrapping or fracturing the part. This pushes you to a side where you either give in
Would you like to get rid of long cycle times and distorted parts that are sucking out your profits? Most entrepreneurs accuse the molding machine or the plastic material itself, however, a lot of times the blame is behind the curtain of the mold as well. A poor cooling system
Have you always been facing issues with part defects such as sink marks, warped parts, or uneven finishes? These problems interfere with production, raise scrap rate and jeopardize your bottom line. You are aware that the mold temperature is an art, not a science, but difficult to master. Getting a
Using poor plastic to make a medical device can result in the failure of the product, regulatory nightmares, and even patient injuries. You may be concerned that your device will not pass stringent biocompatibility tests, to require expensive re-design and project delays at the expense of your business. The key
Are your injection molded parts coming out with frustrating defects like warpage, ugly marks, or inconsistent finishes? This often leads to wasted material, project delays, and unhappy clients, making you feel like you’re just guessing at the machine settings. The secret to consistent, high-quality parts isn’t just the plastic itself;
Are you struggling to specify the right surface finish for your plastic parts? Choosing the wrong texture can lead to a product that looks cheap, functions poorly, or inflates your tooling budget without reason. This uncertainty can be frustrating and costly. Understanding the SPI Finish Chart is the key to
Stuck deciding on the perfect flexible material to suit your product? Deciding between TPE, TPU, and silicone is challenging, and selecting an inappropriate material leads to costly failures and frustrated customers. Imagine your product cracking when it is placed under tension, melting when it is heated, or feeling thin to
It can be intimidating to choose the proper high-performance plastic. You realize that it will need to handle the heat, but choosing the wrong one can lead to critical part failure, budgets being squandered, and important projects being put behind schedule. The following is a roadmap that dispels confusion by
Are you unsure whether to choose injection molding or CNC machining as the designer for your new part? It’s a crossroads that happens more often than not, and because of it, costly tool re-work and frustrating production downtime can arise due to initial design choices that turn out wrong. You’ve
Choosing the correct plastic for your application is often a challenging compromise. You might need the ultimate strength and heat deflection of Polycarbonate (PC) along with easy processing and impact durability of ABS. Guess incorrectly, and cracked parts, distorted products, and expensive downtime will be yours. That’s where a robust
