Injection-molded parts usually measure a wall thickness between 1 and 5 mm. The proper thickness selection depends on three main factors: plastic material properties, functional requirements, and mold flow performance. The part performance requires you to keep the...
Punching and stamping are two sheet metal fabrication processes, heavily used in metalwork projects. Punching is for creating holes of different shapes, whereas stamping converts sheets into more complex shapes. Understanding the differences between these two is...
The use of plastics is extensive in today’s world, where most of them are manufactured with molding processes —the approach of shaping molten plastics by solidifying them in a cavity outlining the geometry of the desired item. Moreover, products made of plastic...
Deciding on an online sheet metal fabrication company to hire can make or mar your project. Regarding basic processes like bending metals or using more sophisticated laser cutting, your fabricator must determine the quality, cost, and timely deliverables. Moreover, a...
Industries globally produce countless products to cater to varied consumer needs. They use different manufacturing methods, some modern and others conventional. Machining and casting metalworking are popular in plastic and metal manufacture. None of these...
