This is a story of the collaboration between two critical components for success in plastic injection molding. Proper melt temperature and mold temperature are paramount for ensuring your part’s final properties meet the requirements for its desired performance. This post will give a brief explanation
Thermoplastic injection molding is the most common way to manufacture parts. Thermoplastics are polymers that can be repeatedly molten or softened and solidified; this is a physical change rather than a chemical change. When beginning the path to a plastic injection-molded part, it is essential
Every plastic is different. Derived from different source materials with different synthetization methods, the properties and costs of plastics vary widely. One of these properties, however, is sometimes overlooked in the plastic injection molding process: the tolerances that given plastics can hold. Knowing the tolerance requirements for
