Measuring cavity pressure during the injection molding process is an effective way to optimize production. This requires the use of sensors to capture data and, perhaps more importantly, interpreting ...

Over the decades, ASTM shear test methods, from lamina-level to multidirectional laminate-level, have continued to evolve as composite applications require higher shear strengths.

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 ...

Keeping up with the latest production best practices is a smart — and crucial — decision, regardless of whether it pertains to CNC machining, 3D printing, or, as in this case, injection molding.

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 ...

Molding is prevalent throughout the medical device industry. But to achieve consistency and repeatability in the fabrication of molded components and devices, some manufacturers employ a concept ...
