Low volume injection molding Unlike conventional injection molding, which is designed for thousands or even millions of parts, low volume injection molding is intended for small batches, typically 50 to 10,000 units. Its mainstays are design flexibility, short lead...
Injection molding weld lines are defects formed when molten plastic flow fronts meet & fail to fuse fully.
3D printing is ideal for quick prototyping solutions, while injection molding is the perfect fit for high-volumes.
Insert molding effectively encloses inserts and is a more controlled process, overmolding is best for grips & ergonomics.
Co-injection molding produces multi-material parts with core and skin in a single cycle. Learn more.
Injection molding short shot Injection molding short shot, the partial formation of parts or features, is one of the most definitive injection molding defects. Since its causes range from low temperature to poor venting, and material viscosity to frozen flow channels,...
