Most of the plastic objects we see are created using injection molding, but designing such molds is a difficult task, usually requiring experts. Now, computer scientists have created an interactive ...

Hot runner manufacturer Mold-Masters will utilize Moldex3D 3D injection molding simulation software for design verification and optimization of hot runner systems. CoreTech System Co. Ltd. (Hsinchu, ...

If you'd like to make a few novelty chocolate bars for an event or just because, you can do so without too much trouble by 3D-printing or hand-carving a relief image, making a silicone mold of that ...

Having access to tools can greatly expand an engineer’s ability to build. As technology advances, it tends to become more accessible as it drops in price or increases user-friendliness. Once 3D ...

Machined tooling contributes to the majority of production costs for many small-run jobs. 3D printing can reduce the cost of plastic cores, molds, and tooling, but there are several considerations to ...

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 ...

A different conversation about the capabilities of 3D-printing is happening at edg, a New York architecture and engineering firm which focuses on technology-driven design and the restoration of ...

Metal 3D printing has had years of success in the moldmaking sector, where new design possibilities for mold tools have supported better performance in the injection molding process. Two main ...

With the additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing process, there's almost nothing that can't be printed from human ears to end-use aircraft components thanks to an ever increasing range of materials ...

Aiming to combat labor shortages, Lyons Industries has been gradually installing automated processes to replace the traditionally labor-intensive spray-up process for its fiberglass composite bathtubs ...

Most of the plastic objects we see are created using injection molding, but designing such molds is a difficult task, usually requiring experts. Now, computer scientists from the Institute of Science ...

Names and labels are difficult. Take this “3D Printed” water-cooling loop by [Visual Thinker] on YouTube. It undeniably uses 3D printing — but it also uses silicone casting and laser-cut acrylic, too.
