SimForm has been a game-changer in injection molding, offering users the ability to quickly & easily predict temperatures, optimize cooling channel placement, and improve the quality of molded parts ...

Hill Helicopters engineered composite main rotor blades using a novel single-cure manufacturing process for stiffness and ...

Compression molded “smoke pan” designed for conversion from 2-D to 3-D form. Hat angle and plateau optimized to prevent part from shrinking against mold surfaces. Angle changes optimized with radii to ...

About 50 billion plastic screw caps are made annually, and demand is rising all the time. In the game between the two rival production processes, neither holds all the aces. When it comes to choosing ...

Compression molding involves forming of complex shaped components by molding of a charge of fiber reinforced prepreg bulk molding compound (BMC) under heat and high pressures. Unidirectional fiber ...

Producing plastic parts that are stronger than steel is the technical expertise of Global Polymer (Madison, SD), a compression molder that has earned a reputation for delivering innovative solutions ...

Keeping moldability top of mind during the design process not only ensures that parts perform as intended, but can help save time and cut down on production costs. Before it even hits the factory ...

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 ...

Chopped prepreg molding compound (CPMC), a relatively new material form resembling molding compounds made from chopped resin impregnated tow, provides design and processing engineers various benefits ...

Undercuts (such as those shown) can complicate and, in some cases, prevent part ejection. Eliminate them if possible. Undercuts on injection-molded parts are features that prevent those parts from ...
