Metal injection molding (MIM) produces relatively small (150 to less than 30-gm), complex, net, or near-net parts which can include features such as holes, radii, logos, and text. Moreover, MIM can ...

Before committing to any high-cost injection molding tooling, it is recommended that you first create your design and test your prototype’s functionality. This will keep your cost down as it allows ...

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 ...

ME 325 teaches injection molding hands-on (NIC FORT/The Stanford Daily). In ME 325: “Making Multiples: Scaled Manufacturing Tooling,” undergraduate and graduate students engage in injection molding, a ...

Although everyone knows that plastic injection molding can produce mass volumes of parts with precision and low cost, not every manufacturer gets the process right, which could defeat its purpose and ...

3D printing is great for prototyping, and not bad for limited runs of parts. Unfortunately though it really doesn’t scale well beyond a few pieces, so when you’re ready for the mass market you will ...

This core was 3D printed from steel at Star Rapid using a Renishaw AM 250 printer. Product developers and engineers who design and manufacture plastic parts now have a powerful new weapon in their ...
