Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a new method for powder injection molding of titanium and similar materials to form components for ...

Erie Pa. — A low-pressure injection molding machine that can use multiple extruders that heat the melt in an electrically heated barrel, then pump the material into the mold gives low shear, lower ...

One of the most common methods of converting plastics from the raw material form to an article of use is the process of injection moulding. This process is most typically used for thermoplastic ...

Precision molded thermoplastic parts are used in everything from catheters and IVD cartridges to drug-delivery systems. In fact, the vast majority of medical devices include precision molded ...

PIM uses sinterable powders to manufacture very intricate components. Unlike traditional press-and-sinter powder metallurgy processes, PIM could potentially allow the economic mass production of dense ...

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 ...

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 ...

Using a digital workflow and 3D printing can lead to a lower carbon footprint as well as allow for more efficient and less costly spare parts manufacturing. Glen Mason, manager of advanced innovation ...
