The injection moulding process was developed following the principle of pressure die-casting, in which molten metal is forced into a cool mould. JW and IS Hyatt used this principle in their stuffing ...
Recently [Stefan] of CNC Kitchen took a gander at using his gaggle of 3D printers to try injection molding (IM). Although the IM process generally requires metal molds and specialized machinery ...
Injection molding is widely used in the manufacture of plastic parts ranging from simple, everyday items to complex products requiring precision tooling and process optimization equipment. During a ...
Injection molding is the obvious onward step from 3D printing when the making of a few plastic parts becomes their series manufacture. The problem with injection molding is though, that making a ...
Molding machines include many different plastic injection molding machine and metal injection molding machine types. Plastic molding machines are used to manufacture plastic parts using the blow ...
A Yaskawa six-axis robot handles the injection molding process. The machine is equipped with two electric injection units, sizes 170 and 400. With the smaller vertical injection unit, the handle ...
