Custom Tips for Injection Molding

Plastics News had a great article in April on the use of aluminum injection molds for the automotive industry.  As the automotive industry goes through a major correction, it is forcing them to think differently about how they manufacture parts.  Honda of America is being very progressive in their thinking. 
Never before has an automotive manufacturing [...]

Recently, the use of Ultem material was made available to the engineering community through the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) additive manufacturing process.  This is a big step for product development because it starts to break down barriers many people have regarding the use of rapid prototyping before purchasing injection molds. 
The use of rapid prototyping to confirm designs [...]

As product life cycles shrink, it is starting to change the way people view injection mold tooling and parts.  In the past, aluminum molds were used primarily for prototype tooling and only a so called “fool” would use them for production.  Now, that is changing and changing fast.  With life cycles shrinking and the focus [...]
