Building custom parts often means learning new skills or getting out of your comfort zone, especially if you want to create something that is really cool. While most hot rodders can fabricate brackets ...
3D printing has made it incredibly easy to produce small runs of plastic parts, but getting rid of the 3D printed look can be tricky and time-consuming. When you need a smooth and polished finish, or ...
This set of white RepRap parts were created in molds, instead of being printed by another RepRap. [Mark A. Ganter] of the University of Washington admits that this breaks the idea of a 3D printer that ...
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 ...
Plastic injection processing has changed immensely over the last 30 years, evolving from an art to a science. Processing pioneers John Bozzelli, Don Paulson, and RJG gave processors tools not only to ...
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 ...
Predominantly, if the metal part used in compression molding is tension or compression loaded, a ratio of metal part thickness to its extensional modulus, multiplied by the Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) ...
In the world of plastic injection molding, scrap can cripple a company’s ability to turn a profit. Part defects can be caused by a multitude of molding factors, but speed and time settings associated ...
