In the world of plastic injection molding, scrap can cripple a company’s ability to turn a profit. Part defects can be caused by a multitude of molding factors, but speed and time settings associated ...

Machine and process troubleshooting are the most important factors in controlling process and reducing defects. Poorly performing presses lead to process variance and uncontrollable scrap events, and ...

With the help of neural networks, in which complex algorithms are used to monitor critical process steps, engineers are paving the way for zero-defect production in the area of metal powder injection ...

Injection molding is a critical manufacturing process, and has been so for a long time. It still has room to improve in several areas however, and “smart” injection molding equipment is gaining ...

Injection molding is an important processing method for conductive fiber-filled polymer composites. The disadvantage of this approach is that the electrical resistivity of the molded part increases ...

Long fiber-reinforcement has been among the fastest growing fabrication techniques in the past five years. Long fiber-reinforced composites approach the performance of composites reinforced with ...
