Our Guides
Choosing the right material is essential to ensure product performance, cost-efficiency, and manufacturability. We explore the properties of commonly used plastics and highlights key considerations for selecting materials for injection molding.
A well-designed mold ensures high-quality parts, optimizes production efficiency, and minimizes waste. We provide an in-depth look at the fundamentals of mold design, covering mold types, runner systems, gate design, cooling systems, and practical considerations.
Injection molding is a versatile manufacturing process, but defects can arise due to material properties, tooling design, or process parameters. This guide identifies common defects in injection molding, their causes, and practical solutions to ensure high-quality parts and efficient production.
We explore key applications of plastics, providing insights into their functionality and the technology behind their success. From anti-static to aerospace applications, each use case requires a specific plastic type tailored to meet functional, environmental, and regulatory demands.
