Medical Injection Molding
In Plastic Injection onRead moreMedical injection molding (MIM) is a versatile process that forces medical-grade plastics into a mold to create the desired shape and function. Medical plastic injection molding is used in the creation of prototypes, as well as market-ready medical devices. The FDA requires that only medical-grade plastics can be used in medical implants and devices, but there are several other key
How to Design and Build a Mold for Any Custom Plastic Product
In Mold Making onRead morePlastic molding is a manufacturing process used to produce large quantities of plastic parts and products. It involves shaping the material using a rigid hollow frame—i.e., mold. Once fully solidified, the material retains the shape of the mold after removal. Industry professionals employ a wide range of plastic molding methods, depending on the part and production specifications. Each method offers
Blow Molding Basics
In Blow Molding onRead moreBlow Molding Basics Blow molding has the capacity to create an expansive variety of hollow plastic objects. Similar to glass blowing in methodology, the blow molding process heats plastic to a molten or liquid state while pressure within forces the molten material into the desired shape using a die or a mold cavity. The most common types of blow
Types of Plastics Used in Pharmaceuticals
In Plastic Injection onRead morePlastic provides a cost-effective and reliable form of packaging for products in a variety of industries, including the pharmaceutical sector. There are two types of polymers commonly used in pharmaceutical packaging: thermoplastics and thermosets. There is a distinct difference between these two material categories—thermoplastics can be reheated and remolded, while thermosets cannot. Thermosets are often preferred for sealed products because
The Basics of Injection Molding: 2020 Guide
Read moreThe Basics of Injection Molding: 2020 Guide Injection molding is a manufacturing process used to produce high volumes of molded parts. The process involves heating material—typically plastic or metal—to a fluid state and injecting it into pre-made molds. The high pressure of the injection operation forces the material to fill every cavity of the molds. Once the material cools and
