Mechanical Manufacturing Engineering
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source=”post_title”][vc_column_text] Mechanical manufacturing engineering is a form of product design. When products are engineered for mechanical manufacturing, they are designed to be assembled from several component parts. The process of mechanical manufacturing engineering requires the design team to carefully consider how a product will be assembled. During the design phase, the product prototype is […]
Rubber Injectio Molding
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source=”post_title”][vc_column_text] Rubber injection molding is a manufacturing process used to create rubber parts. This type of process is ideal for creating small parts that require precision, or parts that fit inside other components. Rubber parts are widely used in a range of mechanical parts and machines. A rubber injection molding machine is typically found […]
What Is Molding Pressure?
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source=”post_title”][vc_column_text] Molding pressure typically refers to a measurement of force within an injection molding machine. In injection molding, plastic resins are melted and pushed into a steel or aluminum mold, fabricating plastic parts. The mold pressure determines with what force the melted resin is forced through the machine and injected into the awaiting mold.The […]
Ultrasonic Welding
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source=”post_title”][vc_column_text] Ultrasonic welding is an industrial technique which makes two pieces of plastic or metal be joined together seamlessly through high-frequency acoustic vibrations. One component to be welded is placed upon a fixed anvil, with the second component being placed on top. An extension connected to a transducer is lowered down onto the top […]
What Are Ejector Pins?
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source=”post_title”][vc_column_text] Ejector pins are long pins that are used in the injection molding industry to push the final molded product out of the mold. They are used forcefully to eject the solid part out of the mold and are usually made of high-quality steel.Ejector pins are available in various sizes and shapes, such as […]
Some Tips For Sandblasting Aluminum For Metal Parts
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source=”post_title”][vc_column_text] Sandblasting aluminum to remove the imperfect parts is one way of fixing rust or other damage to the metal. Before sandblasting aluminum, it generally is a good idea to clean it to ensure all the imperfections are visible. There are many different sand grades, and picking the right grade will ensure the aluminum […]
Screen Printing For Plastic Injection Products
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source=”post_title”][vc_column_text] Screen printing or silk screening is a printing technique particularly suited for flat or relatively flat surfaces. The heart of the process involves a fine mesh or screen that is tightly stretched around a rigid frame. The areas that are not to be printed are masked out on the screen, and to create […]
What Is Molding Pressure?
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source=”post_title”][vc_column_text] Molding pressure typically refers to a measurement of force within an injection molding machine. In injection molding, plastic resins are melted and pushed into a steel or aluminum mold, forming plastic parts. The amount of molding pressure should be enough to fill the mold completely, preventing what are known as short shots, or […]
Five Axis CNC Machining
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source=”post_title”][vc_column_text] Five axis computer numerical control (CNC) systems are able to move internal tools in three primary axes, designated X, Y, and Z, and two more axes created by the rotation of the X and Y axes. These axes lie parallel to the tool spindle, a core component of CNC production machines. Five axis […]
What Is A Prototype Mold?
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading source=”post_title”][vc_column_text] A prototype mold is a term that most designers and manufacturers are familiar with, due to the fact that it is connected to the process of bringing a concept to life. Usually, when industrial designers or product designers have a concept for a product, they will go through various stages in the quest […]
