Your team finally created a design that everyone approved. You chose a type of plastic and injection process that should have worked for the design. The prototype looked good. However, production was paused because the parts had wavy lines across the surface. This is one of many possible injection molding defects. Problems during the injection...Continue Reading
Plastics are an integral part of our daily lives. They’re lightweight, sustainable, and cost-efficient. Plus, since there are several durable options to choose from, those making automotive parts and other useable items can create high-quality products that last for decades. The custom plastic manufacturing process ensures that you get the precise plastic products you need....Continue Reading
The United States produces over 60 billion pounds of plastic resin every year. That is because plastic offers precision, strength, and longevity that is not achievable with other products. This makes it ideal for a range of industries, from aerospace, healthcare, energy, and automotive manufacturing, to name a few. Plastic parts are often made using...Continue Reading
In any given vehicle, about 50 percent is plastic. However, that volume only accounts for only ten percent of the car’s weight. This is how plastic automobile parts help make vehicles more fuel-efficient. They have also helped increase safety. Besides automobile components, plastic is used to make all kinds of products. This includes everything from bottle caps...Continue Reading
Plastic is integral to the manufacturing, healthcare, electrical, plumbing, aerospace, construction, packaging, and energy generation industries. According to a 2019 study by George Mason University’s Center for Collision Safety, plastic composites can absorb four times the amount of impact of steel, making cars safer for drivers and passengers. These achievements are only possible through the use of specialized injection...Continue Reading
