The advent of CAD systems, additive manufacturing, and CNC machining have made the design and manufacture of complex part designs almost routine. Engineers today are tasked with designing components that may be subjected to a variety of factors, including extreme weather conditions, chemicals, bodily fluids, high stress or loads, impacts, and other elements that could […]

Thermoplastics and thermoset plastics are classes of polymers used in injection molding, CNC machining, 3D printing, and urethane casting. Like elastomers, another class of polymer, thermoplastics and thermosets both consist of long, repeating chains of molecules. Under a microscope, the structure of a thermoplastic resembles a railroad track while a thermoset material looks like a […]

Medical device materials must meet strict requirements for biocompatibility, sterilization compatibility, traceability, and regulatory documentation. Engineers selecting materials for medical device development must balance mechanical performance, manufacturability, cost, and regulatory compliance across the entire development lifecycle—from early prototypes to full-scale production. Medical devices range from simple disposables to complex multi-material systems. This guide explains common […]

Environmental resistance describes a material’s ability to withstand chemical exposure, corrosion, UV radiation, moisture, and elevated temperatures without degrading. When selecting plastics or metals for CNC machining, injection molding, or sheet metal fabrication, engineers must evaluate long-term durability under real-world operating conditions. This guide ranks common engineering materials by overall environmental durability, corrosion resistance, and […]

Imagine designing a complex assembly with rotating parts that come into contact with each other. You have dialed in your dimensions and tolerances, ordered fasteners, and assembled your prototype parts. But as you rotate the components, they bind against each other, or even make grinding or squeaking noises. In this case, you may need a […]

As sustainability becomes a greater priority, the plastic manufacturing industry is undergoing a shift to adapt to the changing times. With mounting environmental pressures and a global push for greener solutions, sustainable plastic manufacturing redefines how we produce everyday goods. At the center of this transformation lies injection molding, one of the most common manufacturing […]
