Extrusion and injection molding are two primary methods for manufacturing plastic and rubber parts. Extrusion creates continuous profiles by pushing material through a die to produce uniform cross-sectional shapes, ideal for pipes, tubing, and weatherstripping. Injection molding, on the other hand, injects molten material into a mold cavity and enables the production of intricate, three-dimensional […]

The Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) helps ensure a supplier’s manufacturing process consistently produces parts that meet your design specifications. PPAP is one of the core tools within Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), a structured approach to designing, developing, and launching quality products. PPAP is complex, but it can provide you with proof that the […]

Injection molding is a fast and efficient way to prototype and produce complex plastic parts for medical, aerospace, and other applications. Although it’s well-known and widely used, injection molding has its challenges, just like any manufacturing process. For example, some injection molders may struggle to achieve consistent product quality. It’s also difficult to achieve and […]

Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is a structured approach that companies use to design, develop, and launch products that consistently meet customer requirements for quality. By identifying problems before they become large, difficult, and expensive to correct, you can pursue quality, promote efficiency, and ensure customer satisfaction. Fictiv works with a carefully vetted network of […]

CNC machine safety is about reducing the risk of accidents and injuries caused by computer numerical control (CNC) equipment like mills, drills, lathes, and routers. From moving parts, hot surfaces, slippery fluids, and sharp edges to sparks, chips, and noise, CNC machinery can put unprotected workers at risk. Properly understanding how to stay safe when […]

Injection molding defects can reduce the cosmetic appeal and structural integrity of injection molded parts. The causes of these imperfections range from issues with tooling or materials to problems with processing or part design. The solution to a specific defect may require corrective action by the injection molder, the mold maker, or the part designer. […]
