Top 10 Materials for Plastic Injection Molding
The names of plastic injection molding material sound like terms from chemistry class. Choosing the correct injection molding materials means understanding application requirements, which change between prototyping and production. Not everyone has a PHD in chemistry to choose a right material. When it comes to choosing injection molding materials, we need to consider many factors. The first thing is to understand the names and abbreviations of material, the advantages and disadvantages of chosen material, and the applications and grades. The most widely used injection molding materials include PMMA, ABS, PA, PC, PE, POM, PP, PS, TPE and TPU. This article will explain each injection molding materials.

The Commonly Used 4 Different Types of Rapid Prototyping
Rapid prototyping is the fast method to fabricate a physical part, model or assembly by CAD design. The parts, models or assembly is usually made by additive manufacturing which is well known as 3D printing. There are two types of prototypes: high-fidelity prototypes and low fidelity prototypes. There are several rapid prototyping technologies….
What is Low-volume Injection Molding
Injection molding a useful production method which enable manufacturers to produce identical parts with consistent quality and characteristics in high volume. In injection molding process, a pressurized nozzle shoots molten plastic into a metal mold to make the parts cool and be ejected quickly. When the parts are ejected, the press closes…
How Much Does High Pressure Die Casting Tooling Cost
Die casting process is relatively inexpensive because of its high levels of repeatability. Initial tooling cost is high but it saves money during the process.
