Automotive injection molding lets designers produce plastic parts for electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and cars, trucks, and motorcycles with internal combustion engines (ICE). Although automotive plastic molding is usually associated with high-volume production, designers can also use injection molding for rapid prototyping and lower production volumes. Moreover, some automotive plastic injection molding companies […]

The prototyping process is the method of physically building a model or draft of an idea. As engineers, prototyping is a crucial step in the product development process whereby a solid model comes to life, and we can touch, see, and interact with it. Historically, traditional prototyping has been a lengthy and expensive process, but […]

Medical injection molding lets designers prototype and manufacture a wide range of products for the medical, dental, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries. Some products, such as catheters, are tightly regulated. Other products have fewer requirements or are subject to regulatory guidance, such as wellness items. There are also injected molded parts (e.g., gaskets) that are not […]

HDPE injection molding uses high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a cost-effective thermoplastic with good tensile strength and high impact resistance. This commodity plastic also has strong moisture resistance and is relatively easy to injection mold. HDPE is used in many applications, but it has a high rate of thermal expansion. Consequently, injection-molded HDPE parts are prone to […]
