Thermoplastics and thermoset plastics are two different forms of polymer powders, which are differentiated depending on their behavior on reacting to the application of heat. Here, we explore the differences between thermoplastic and thermoset plastic: Thermoplastics These are resins that are solid at room temperature. But when heated, they become soft and ultimately become fluid due to crystal...
Since injection molding offers greater efficiency at a lower cost, it’s useful for producing components for almost all markets, and is extremely versatile, as it holds a broad appeal. However, this doesn’t mean that accomplishing this process in-house is easy. Injection molding is also finicky and cost-intensive, and it’s difficult to achieve consistent results without troubleshooting know-how and...
Compared to parts with tight tolerances, normal injection molding tolerances are typically less costly to manufacture. This is why coming up with a specific part or the optimal tolerance is important to produce top-notch parts at affordable rates. Here, we discuss some best practices for improving injection-molding tolerances. Choose the ideal material for the application A material may...
