Milacron Co-injection molding uses a proprietary, simultaneous co-injection process with every system. This process allows the cavity to be filled in exactly the same amount of time as a monolayer ...

Since the technology became broadly available in 2017, a growing number of injection molders have been learning how the iMFLUX low-pressure process can reduce both cycle times and reject rates, ...

Hamilton, Ohio — After four years of secrecy, Procter & Gamble Co. is pulling back the veil on its Imflux process — an injection molding technology that uses low, constant pressure to fill the mold, ...

Not long ago I wrote a column about choosing between industrial robots and collaborative robots (co-bots) for various manufacturing applications. While speaking with Ryan Guthrie, senior vice ...

Lightweight parts, energy-saving processing or combining several process steps into one. It can all be summarized under one buzzword: sustainability. A technology that is highly promising is ...

Precision molded thermoplastic parts are used in everything from catheters and IVD cartridges to drug-delivery systems. In fact, the vast majority of medical devices include precision molded ...

Figure 1. Pressurized nitrogen gas is injected into a melt to penetrate the part via a network of thicker cross-sectioned gas channels (click to enlarge). Gas-assist injection molding was developed ...

For decades, injection molding has developed into a predictable, repeatable manufacturing process, built on an understanding of cause and effect. The application of scientific principles to injection ...

Injection molding enables device makers to produce complex components with good part-to-part integrity, but choosing the right material and process is critical. Drew Rogers Injection molding is a ...

Water-assisted injection molding (WAIM) is a specialised variant of conventional injection molding in which high-pressure water replaces or supplements polymer melt in the core of a part, yielding ...
