Milacron Co-injection molding uses a proprietary, simultaneous co-injection process with every system. This process allows the cavity to be filled in exactly the same amount of time as a monolayer ...

Since the technology became broadly available in 2017, a growing number of injection molders have been learning how the iMFLUX low-pressure process can reduce both cycle times and reject rates, ...

Hamilton, Ohio — After four years of secrecy, Procter & Gamble Co. is pulling back the veil on its Imflux process — an injection molding technology that uses low, constant pressure to fill the mold, ...

Lightweight parts, energy-saving processing or combining several process steps into one. It can all be summarized under one buzzword: sustainability. A technology that is highly promising is ...

Not long ago I wrote a column about choosing between industrial robots and collaborative robots (co-bots) for various manufacturing applications. While speaking with Ryan Guthrie, senior vice ...

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 ...

Figure 1. Pressurized nitrogen gas is injected into a melt to penetrate the part via a network of thicker cross-sectioned gas channels (click to enlarge). Gas-assist injection molding was developed ...

Water-assisted injection molding (WAIM) is a specialised variant of conventional injection molding in which high-pressure water replaces or supplements polymer melt in the core of a part, yielding ...

Injection molding enables device makers to produce complex components with good part-to-part integrity, but choosing the right material and process is critical. Drew Rogers Injection molding is a ...

For decades, injection molding has developed into a predictable, repeatable manufacturing process, built on an understanding of cause and effect. The application of scientific principles to injection ...
