Creating plastic injection molds requires a high level of technical expertise and attention to detail to prevent mistakes. These mistakes, known as molding defects, can end up costing companies a lot of money when mass producing parts for clients, such as in the markets that we serve. Luckily, our experts at Midstate know how to analyze and solve these defects when they appear in the plastic injection molding process. This article enlightens our readers on some of the molding defects that can occur during the injection process. [Read more…] about Uncovering Molding Defects and How To Troubleshoot
Most Common Thermoplastics Used In Injection Molding
Thermoplastic injection molding is the most common way to manufacture parts. Thermoplastics are polymers that can be repeatedly molten or softened by heating and solidified by cooling—as a physical change rather than a chemical change that takes place during the creation of thermoset materials. It is important to distinguish what type of thermoplastic should be used for the type of product you want us to help you create. Below are the most common thermoplastics used in injection molding.
