Overmolding Materials
When selecting material, both the substrate and the overmold material should be considered. This guides will help you select the right materials.
Overmolding Design Guide
Designing your part correctly for the overmolding process is critical. That design process starts with understanding the function of the part.
Hydraulics Systems for Injection Molds
Hydraulic actuators are used for various injection molding applications such as: slides, core pulls, ejection systems, and unscrewing cores.
Comparing Injection Mold Quotes
It can be challenging to compare quotes accurately to assess your best option. The article describes why quotes vary from supplier to supplier.
Value Added: Ultrasonic Welding
Ultrasonically welding plastics creates a permanent, water-resistant, and impact resistant connection between two plastics that avoids the use hardware.
Value Added: Pad Printing
Pad printing is a process for applying ink-based graphics to various surfaces and is commonly used the injection molding industry.
Designing Injection Molds for Robotics
How injection molded parts are handled after molding has design implications for the mold build. This guide will help you understand those implications.
Value Added: Foam Tape Application
Foam tape is great alternative to mechanical connections or chemical bonding between injection molded components and various substrate materials.
Molded-In Insert Options
From female threaded in custom designs, there are several design options for molded-in inserts.
