Extrusion and injection molding are two primary methods for manufacturing plastic and rubber parts. Extrusion creates continuous profiles by pushing material through a die to produce uniform cross-sectional shapes, ideal for pipes, tubing, and weatherstripping. Injection molding, on the other hand, injects molten material into a mold cavity and enables the production of intricate, three-dimensional […]

Injection molding is a fast and efficient way to prototype and produce complex plastic parts for medical, aerospace, and other applications. Although it’s well-known and widely used, injection molding has its challenges, just like any manufacturing process. For example, some injection molders may struggle to achieve consistent product quality. It’s also difficult to achieve and […]

CNC machine safety is about reducing the risk of accidents and injuries caused by computer numerical control (CNC) equipment like mills, drills, lathes, and routers. From moving parts, hot surfaces, slippery fluids, and sharp edges to sparks, chips, and noise, CNC machinery can put unprotected workers at risk. Properly understanding how to stay safe when […]
Article
Injection molding defects can reduce the cosmetic appeal and structural integrity of injection molded parts. The causes of these imperfections range from issues with tooling or materials to problems with processing or part design. The solution to a specific defect may require corrective action by the injection molder, the mold maker, or the part designer. […]
