When it comes to manufacturing, sheet metal and injection molding make the world go ’round. As a manufacturing method, injection molding has its own range of unique design issues and gotchas that are ...

Because crown molding is so thick and ornate, it can weigh down the room and make it seem to shrink. Trim is still possible ...

A simple project with big payoff. Sometimes it’s the simplest details that make the most striking visual impact, and wall molding offers the perfect example. This design detail has a long history, ...

Static mixers in hot runners improve polymer mixing while 3D simulation accelerates design optimization for injection molding ...

Design engineers can realize important gains by working collaboratively with the companies (often at the tail end of a supply chain) that design and manufacture the tooling that critically influences ...

Since its inception in 1995, TDL has been a trailblazer, especially in innovative solutions for mold design and mold manufacturing. Additionally, they have gained trusted partners based on their ...

New molding process combines three techniques to create large thick-walled parts from high-performance thermoplastic ...

Think you’ve squeezed the maximum weight and cycle time out of your injection-molded design? Users of MuCell microcellular-foam technology beg to differ. They’ve cut part weight 8 to 12% without major ...

One of the most interesting new designs was the first-ever use of a single-piece chrome tube directly molded in a composite structure for vehicle protection. The part is a brush guard used to shield ...

When engineers at General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products (GDATP) recently designed the ammunition container for a new aircraft weapon system, they decided very early in the process to make ...
