Many believe prototyping is just an extra, unnecessary step in the injection molding process, which is a misconception that can result in severe production line disruptions and forfeiture of time and money. In fact, some believe it increases costs and inhibits development and production times, but in reality, it does the opposite. Proceeding with a custom injection molding without prototyping often results in a series of tool adjustments that can become both time-consuming and expensive. Let’s review precisely how prototype tooling in injection molding accelerates production and saves you time and money.

We all saw the destruction that hurricane Harvey left behind. What you may not have seen is how this hurricane completely devastated the plastic injection molding market. Southern Texas and the U.S. Gulf Coast, home to about 90% of the nation’s chemical and plastics factories, is the building block for a wide range of consumer and industrial goods. This article will look at how exactly Hurricane Harvey damaged the plastics industry these past couple months.
