I was talking to the engineering manager at a good customer and he told me they were having huge quality and warranty issues with a zinc diecast gear they had been using. I told him of the success we had just had with another customer converting an assembly of components into a single high strength… Read More
Millions of plastic components are machined. If the annual volume is high enough, converting it to a molded part could be of advantage. With machining, you pay for the full rod or sheet, and then machine a fair amount of the plastic onto the floor as waste. Extruded sheet and rod is usually more expensive… Read More
One of the least understood elements in mold design is runner sizing. The equations that govern plastic flow are nearly unsolvable in their classical form. However with the aid of computers, sophisticated computational methods, this task can be accomplished quickly and quite accurately. While this software (Moldflow™) costs a small fortune to acquire and the… Read More
