The prototyping process is the method of physically building a model or draft of an idea. As engineers, prototyping is a crucial step in the product development process whereby a solid model comes to life, and we can touch, see, and interact with it. Historically, traditional prototyping has been a lengthy and expensive process, but […]

Medical injection molding lets designers prototype and manufacture a wide range of products for the medical, dental, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries. Some products, such as catheters, are tightly regulated. Other products have fewer requirements or are subject to regulatory guidance, such as wellness items. There are also injected molded parts (e.g., gaskets) that are not […]

HDPE injection molding uses high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a cost-effective thermoplastic with good tensile strength and high impact resistance. This commodity plastic also has strong moisture resistance and is relatively easy to injection mold. HDPE is used in many applications, but it has a high rate of thermal expansion. Consequently, injection-molded HDPE parts are prone to […]

Glass filled nylon is a composite material that contains nylon and a specific percentage of glass fibers, typically 30% to 50%. Nylon injection molding produces strong and heat-resistant parts, but unfilled nylon lacks the performance properties required for more demanding applications. With the addition of glass fibers, however, nylon’s thermal and mechanical properties improve. The […]
