Injection molding is a common technique used to make plastic items and parts. The process involves melting plastic pellets at high temperatures and passing the molten plastic into a plastic injection mold through a nozzle. The finished product is ejected from the mold after proper cooling. The final shape of the product depends on the mold design. This...
The manufacturing process can be a tad complex and there are a range of factors to take into account when selecting an injection molding partner that best suits your production requirements, unique products, and your industry. The best place to start is by gaining a rudimentary knowledge of the plastic injection molding process. This process uses plastic resins...
The use of gears can be traced back to ancient times when it was first made using stones. Today, we use injection molded plastic gears. Plastic gears didn’t promise many applications initially as operators weren’t sure how this material would perform when in contact with chemicals, moisture, and exposed to different temperatures. However, today, plastic gears have become...
Thermoplastics are the most common materials used in injection molding processes. ABS is a rigid and tough thermoplastic material used to produce several plastic parts for common and industrial use. The properties of the material give the parts increased tensile strength and durability. Moreover, plastic is relatively inexpensive, leading to lower production costs. Learn all about the ABS injection molding process...

Manufacturers have historically relied on metals to create parts for their products. Metals possess various qualities that make them ideal manufacturing tools. They are strong and have ideal electricity and chemical resistance characteristics. However, they are quite expensive and don’t offer the same flexibility in design and prototyping as plastic. The introduction of new techniques and technologies, such...
A delicate balance of time and resources is required to mass produce a product with reasonable cost, on-time delivery, and consistent quality. While certain companies offer the lowest cost, they may lack the in-house capability to handle every facet of the production process. When it comes to choosing your manufacturing partner, you should go for a turnkey manufacturer...
