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, 3D ...

Most of the plastic products we use are made through injection molding, a process in which molten plastic is injected into a mold to mass-produce identical items. However, even slight changes in ...

Energy efficiency is often considered to be the main advantage of electric injection molding machines, but that neglects many other productivity benefits.

Measuring cavity pressure during the injection molding process is an effective way to optimize production. This requires the use of sensors to capture data and, perhaps more importantly, interpreting ...
