The injection blow moulding process is a key conventional process that enables the production of hollow plastic parts from a pre-moulded semi-finished piece, commonly referred to as a preform. It ...

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 ...

PIM uses sinterable powders to manufacture very intricate components. Unlike traditional press-and-sinter powder metallurgy processes, PIM could potentially allow the economic mass production of dense ...

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 ...

Processing in plastic injection can be a tricky business. It takes a strong and knowledgable approach toward process setup when adjustments are being made to a process. Materials respond in different ...

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 ...

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 ...

RocTool's LIT molding system includes a metallic female mold combined with a male silicone half. Resin is provided via prepregging or in powder or film form. Pressure of up to 30 bar/420 psi is ...

Imagine a world where creating custom-fit products is as simple as reshaping a mold with the push of a button. This isn’t a distant dream—it’s the reality offered by PolyMorphic Moulding, a new ...
