The criteria for selecting a Liquid Silicone Rubber injection molding machine are very similar to selecting a machine for standard thermoplastic injection molding, with some key differences. Let’s ...

Injection molding technology has made major advances in the last 25 years, from largely a world of shoot-and-ship to doing as much as possible at the press — using automation to remove parts and ...

Designing plastic parts that can be molded has always been important for traditional injection molding processes, but it’s particularly beneficial for parts about to be rapid injection molded (RIM) to ...

Injection molding machines are able to form very detailed plastic parts, simply by squirting plastic into a mold. 3D printers squirt plastic. Why no one thought of using a 3D printer extruder to push ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. On the left is an example of a 3D-printed metal mold printed with conformal cooling channels. At right are ...

This KM950 from Krauss-Maffei is not the biggest machine made, but it will handle the largest parts most molders will ever see. Nissei builds this machine to compete in the very small machine end of ...

Universal Robots (UR) is giving injection molders an easy-to-use interface that seamlessly connects its cobots to injection molding machines (IMMs) — a capability made possible thanks to the ...
