Injection molding and blow molding can both produce plastic parts. These two manufacturing processes have some important differences, however. There are other differences between blow molding and injection molding, as the table below explains. Importantly, these differences cover everything from part design and material selection to tooling and production. Table 1. Injection Molding vs. Blow […]

Titanium CNC machining can be challenging. Titanium, a chemical element, is stronger than industrial metals such as stainless steel. Yet titanium’s strength isn’t all that makes it difficult (but not impossible) to machine with CNC equipment. Because titanium has low thermal conductivity, generated heat flows slowly through it. This means that the heat generated during […]
