From its inception, 3D printing has been poised to revolutionize industries, and the realm of plastics is no exception. In its early stages, 3D printing played a peripheral role in plastics, but with time, it has become a major player. This article delves deep into the metamorphosis of the plastic[…]
In the vivid and complex realm of manufacturing, there’s an unsung hero that keeps the wheels of industry spinning – Computer Numerical Control, or CNC, machining. As an intriguing fusion of technology and craftsmanship, CNC machining has revolutionized manufacturing, especially when it comes to plastic materials. Understanding CNC Machining CNC[…]
CNC Machining of plastics is growing rapidly because of its high precision and high-quality production. CNC machining is not only restricted to metals but also makes its way into producing many commodities and engineering plastic products. Using thermoplastics and thermosets for CNC machining is becoming common for many applications because[…]
What exactly are thermoplastics? Thermoplastics are a variation of plastic material that can be easily manipulated through temperature controls, softening when heated and hardening when cooled. They’re incredibly malleable and are widely popular among a broad range of manufacturers, who favour them due to their speedy processing and diverse usability.[…]
Industrial accidents can include everything from being hit by a backhoe to slipping on oil slicks in a garage. What should you do after an industrial accident? Here are the steps you should take, no matter how serious or minor the accident seems. Get Medical Care Always seek medical care.[…]
Plastic is all around us. Small plastic components are commonly used in manufacturing larger products and are essential for making things smaller, lighter, and cheaper. Injection moulding is a term to describe a manufacturing process that allows makers to create lots of the same small plastic components. The result is[…]
Fire breakout is one of the most unfortunate incidents that pose serious life-threatening circumstances. Fire can break out anytime due to a number of different reasons, most of which could have been prevented. Single negligence of a person can burn down the whole property within a fraction of minutes. Let[…]
Packaging is much more than protection products, and it is why it appears in the 7Ps of marketing. Every business that deals with selling products to consumers must realize just how important the element is. It makes a difference in what a customer will notice on the shelf and buy.[…]
Polycarbonate is a very popular engineering plastic. It is used in several industrial and domestic applications. Its chemical and physical properties make it ideal for use in the fabrication of many useful products. Polycarbonate manufacturers employ various techniques to achieve a variety of shapes and finishes. With the proper equipment,[…]
It’s estimated that Americans recycle over 6.3 billion pounds of plastic a year, and while that’s a great thing, there’s still a ton of work that needs to be done to minimize plastic waste on the planet. The good news is that new technological advances and new products such as[…]
The way we manage plastic is a hot topic in many companies and homes. With so many warning signs erupting throughout the planet, it is now a particularly prevalent topic. From banning plastic straws in restaurants and bars to companies encouraging the use of reusable water bottles, the discussion has[…]
Plastic Injection Molding is a manufacturing process that produces plastic parts by injecting materials into the mold. It is a swift process for producing plastic items in large numbers. Some of the merits of this method when compared to any other process; is that it is accurate, flawless, reasonable price,[…]
Plastic Injection Molding is a manufacturing process which produces plastic parts by injecting materials into the mold. It is a fast process for producing plastic items in huge numbers. Like all, the injection molding process also has few merits. These merits can even be used as a tip on why[…]
Modernization of Equipment- Are you looking at your thermoforming equipment, wondering if there could be a better way to get more out of them? Are you noticing subtle reductions to your output? How long have you owned your machines? Although the process of thermoforming has been around for a long[…]
Matsui’s Mold Temperature Controller is used for maintaining stable temperature. It is for regulating high accuracy molding and secure for usage. The internal parts are built using a stainless steel and even have heaters which are for reforming the performance and reducing the consumption of energy. It is an[…]
It is well known that static mixers – so called mixing nozzles help to avoid color streaks in injection molding. Less known is the fact that mixing nozzles can be used to solve many other quality problems, improve the process stability and reduce production costs. This article provides an overview[…]
In the ‘smart age’ of the smart phones and smart watches and smart what not, the industry too, needs to pull its socks up. If you had been waiting for the same, you might just as well be glad to know of shape memory polymers which are “smart” plastic materials[…]
“Injection molding is a manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting material into a mould. Injection moulding can be performed with a host of materials, including metals, glasses, elastomers, confections, and most commonly thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. Material for the part is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced[…]
Injection molding is unanimously the core process in plastic equipment manufacturing industry. As in any industry sector, the present techniques and technologies used in manufacturing process deserve promotion in terms of every aspect including energy efficiency, output quality, processing time, reliability of usage and ease of operation. Being the core[…]
