Structural Foam
Structural Foam
Structural Foam
Structural Foam: A low-pressure injection molding process that creates parts with a cellular core surrounded by a rigid outer shell. It's used for large, strong, yet lightweight parts and is ideal for products requiring high strength-to-weight ratios.
Rapid Prototype
Structural Foam
Structural Foam
Rapid Prototype: A group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a part or assembly using three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) data. Common methods include 3D printing, where parts are built layer by layer.
Aluminum
Structural Foam
Aluminum
Aluminum Tooling: Involves creating molds from aluminum, which is lighter and quicker to machine than steel. It's often used for prototypes or short-run production due to its cost-effectiveness and faster turnaround times..
Steel
Compression
Aluminum
Steel Tooling: Utilizes steel for mold-making, offering greater durability and longevity compared to other materials. It's suitable for high-volume production and can withstand higher pressures and temperatures.
Insert
Compression
Compression
Insert Molding: A process where components (like metal parts, wires, or other materials) are placed in a mold and then plastic is injected around them, integrating them into the molded part. It's often used for adding metal parts to plastic components.
Compression
Compression
Compression
Compression Molding: A method where a heated plastic material is placed in a heated mold cavity and then pressed into shape. It's ideal for large-scale production of complex, high-strength parts, like automotive components.
Blow Mold
Thermoforming
Blow Mold
Blow Molding: Used for creating hollow plastic parts. It involves heating a plastic tube (parison) and placing it in a mold. Air is then blown into the tube, inflating it into the shape of the mold. Commonly used for bottles and containers.
2-Shot
Thermoforming
Blow Mold
2-Shot Molding: Also known as double injection molding, this process combines two different materials into a single mold cycle, creating complex parts with multiple colors or materials. It's efficient and cost-effective for manufacturing multi-component products.
Thermoforming
Thermoforming
Thermoforming
Thermoforming: A process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product. It's widely used for packaging, automotive parts, and other commercial products
