Injection molding is the obvious onward step from 3D printing when the making of a few plastic parts becomes their series manufacture. The problem with injection molding is though, that making a mold ...

The global market for plastic injection molded parts is currently valued at $325 billion, and this number is expected to grow by 5.7% through at least 2025. Spurred by the rapidly developing economies ...

Recently [Stefan] of CNC Kitchen took a gander at using his gaggle of 3D printers to try injection molding (IM). Although the IM process generally requires metal molds and specialized machinery, 3D ...

In the injection molding of plastics, in-mold sensors, as part of a variety of process control packages, have been around for decades. But comparatively recently, similar technology has begun to make ...

Mold makers today strive to develop innovative solutions to make injection molded parts that are environmentally safe and cost less. That innovation is driving growth among mold makers. According to ...

Researchers in Germany are investigating the use of in-mold pressure sensors to control mold filling in high-pressure resin transfer molding (HP-RTM). The goal is a potential new means of improving ...

R&D/Leverage wants to give some “CPR” to the injection blow molding process — as R&D officials introduced what they called a greatly improved mold design at an open house. CPR stands for “consistent ...

So, if you thought that iMFLUX was just there to provide services for P&G, think again. If you make molds or perform molding for P&G, you have a new competitor . . . and it’s P&G. It was assumed that ...
