Researchers in Germany have developed a process monitoring and control system for injection molding cells that automatically detects deviations in product quality, identifies the most likely cause, ...

Micro molding is a molding process for the manufacture of plastic components for shot weights of 1 to 0.1 g with tolerances in the range of 10 to 100 microns. This molding process allows manufacturers ...

A rapid prototyping process was presented to fabricate a nylon honeycomb microstructure coated with parylene C. The surface structure was designed to obtain a hydrophobic surface using the volume of ...

Measuring cavity pressure during the injection molding process is an effective way to optimize production. This requires the use of sensors to capture data and, perhaps more importantly, interpreting ...

When engineers at General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products (GDATP) recently designed the ammunition container for a new aircraft weapon system, they decided very early in the process to make ...

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 ...

In the world of modern manufacturing, selecting the right material and production process can make or break a product’s success. Among the wide array of thermoplastics available today, Acrylonitrile ...

System-in-Package (SiP) technology has been used for a wide range of electronic devices, but the warpage behavior of the package can be difficult to control and predict due to complex manufacturing ...

AZoM talks to DeWayne Howell and Jason Gabriel (Technical Engineering TenCate/CCS Composites), about the process of compression molding for composites and what the benefits and applications of this ...
