This white paper explains how to introduce front-end simulation into plastic injection mold designs to achieve optimal cycle times and higher part quality. This can help injection mold designers and ...

Without simulation software or success stories to tout, the shop agreed to print replacements for worn, conventionally machined inserts at cost for a long-term, trusted customer, just to prove a point ...

CoreTech System Co. Ltd. has expanded its capabilities to encompass the entire product development life cycle from prototyping and tooling to processing. CoreTech (S15019) was founded in 1995 in ...

LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany—TPU products now can be processed virtually in BASF's Utrasim mold and product simulation tool. The company said the software accounts for the Mullins effect, a stress softening ...

The progression of resin through a mold during infusion is a complex and often inscrutable phenomenon. Seat-of-the-pants mold design based on past experience might work for simple part geometries, but ...

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 ...

3D printing is all well and good for prototyping, and it can even produce useful parts. If you want real strenght in plastics, though, or to produce a LOT of parts, you probably want to step up to ...

Officials of injection molding companies became students once again at Penn State Erie's three-day Injection Molding: Innovation and Emerging Technologies Conference. During the event, held June 13-15 ...
