The use of gears can be traced back to ancient times when it was first made using stones. Today, we use injection molded plastic gears. Plastic gears didn’t promise many applications initially as operators weren’t sure how this material would perform when in contact with chemicals, moisture, and exposed to different temperatures. However, today, plastic gears have become...
Thermoplastics are the most common materials used in injection molding processes. ABS is a rigid and tough thermoplastic material used to produce several plastic parts for common and industrial use. The properties of the material give the parts increased tensile strength and durability. Moreover, plastic is relatively inexpensive, leading to lower production costs. Learn all about the ABS injection molding process...
We are seeing a dramatic shift in the world of transportation as more people are shifting away from traditional cars to get their hands on electronic vehicles. Sales of electric cars doubled in 2021 to a new record of 6.6 million and are projected to grow even further in 2022. The increase in demand for eco-friendly transportation options,...
Plastic injection molding is a popular manufacturing process, the advantages of which center around high repeatability and incredible precision, combined with a low cost per part, speed, and a massive choice of available plastics. Read as our injection molding manufacturers highlight the top eight advantages of plastic injection molding. 1. Reduces waste Industrial manufacturing processes must align with...
Manufacturers have historically relied on metals to create parts for their products. Metals possess various qualities that make them ideal manufacturing tools. They are strong and have ideal electricity and chemical resistance characteristics. However, they are quite expensive and don’t offer the same flexibility in design and prototyping as plastic. The introduction of new techniques and technologies, such...
A delicate balance of time and resources is required to mass produce a product with reasonable cost, on-time delivery, and consistent quality. While certain companies offer the lowest cost, they may lack the in-house capability to handle every facet of the production process. When it comes to choosing your manufacturing partner, you should go for a turnkey manufacturer...
