AZoM talks to DeWayne Howell and Jason Gabriel (Technical Engineering TenCate/CCS Composites), about the process of compression molding for composites and what the benefits and applications of this ...

There are thousands of designers who design injection molded parts but there is an elite group within this large community who can actually design parts for injection molders. Injection molded product ...

Known for producing hollow parts, gas-assist techniques can overcome many of the limitations of conventional injection molding. The first patents for gasassist injection molding came in the early ...

While it might sound dumb, the mold will determine the cycle and the quality of the parts. The mold should accomplish two things: First, it's a hole we fill with plastic. This determines the shape of ...

Undercuts (such as those shown) can complicate and, in some cases, prevent part ejection. Eliminate them if possible. Undercuts on injection-molded parts are features that prevent those parts from ...

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 ...
