A new thermoplastic composite for high-speed, high-volume injection molding has tensile strength that's close to, and sometimes better than, either lay-up composites or metals. Kyron MAX is a new line ...

Midwest Composite Technologies Inc., a Hartland, Wis.-based 3D printing company, has acquired ICOMold LLC, a custom injection molder based in Holland, Ohio, near Toledo. Terms of the deal were not ...

If you’re interested in learning more about whether 3D printers can be used for injection molding. You might be interested in a series of tests carried out by the CNC Kitchen to explore the ...

The orientation of short or long fibres in polymer composites during mould-filling or compression moulding significantly influences the anisotropic mechanical, thermal and aesthetic properties of the ...

Injection molding is a highly-engineered process that demands careful planning and attention to detail if the finished product is to achieve its full potential. The tips in this article should help ...

An injection molded, threaded cap made from a 3D-printed metal mold insert, right, created on a Mantle P-200 machine. Within reach of you right now are probably five to 10 plastic products, or parts ...

Molding machines form thermoplastic resin, thermoset polymers, or metal injection molding (MIM) compounds into finished shapes. Injection molding machines consist of a barrel and reciprocating screw ...

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 ...
