When starting a new plastic injection project, it's important to carefully review the individual component's geometry to simulate and detect any problems that may occur during the injection process. Our engineers take into consideration many aspects of the plastic injection process when designing during the feasibility study.

In plastics injection molding, parting lines and weld lines are important subjects for engineers, product designers and mold designers. The parting line refers to a line on the part that is created where the two halves of the mold come together; it is the dividing line on sample that separate cavity and core.

Plastic injection molding stands as a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, producing an array of plastic products we use daily. Two key components that play a pivotal role in this process are ejector pins and ejector blocks. In this blog post, we delve into the intricacies of these essential elements, shedding light on their functions, types, maintenance, and safety considerations.

Plastic injection molding is a precise art that relies on a delicate balance of temperature control. While many aspects contribute to a successful molding process, cooling lines often remain behind the scenes, quietly playing a pivotal role. In this blog post, we'll explore the significance of cooling lines in plastic injection molds and how they contribute to efficient and high-quality production.

Did you know that about 70% of manufacturing costs of a product (cost of materials, processing, and assembly) are determined by design decisions, with production decisions (such as process planning or machine tool selection) account for only 20%? The goal of the DFM process is to design a product that is easily and economically manufactured; this is done by simplifying, optimizing and refining the product design.

Meximold is the yearly trade fair where companies from all over the world gather to showcase their talent and competitive strengths in what is probably the single largest event dedicated to plastic injection tooling. This year the event will be held in the Centro de Congresos which overlooks the beautiful city of Querétaro in the Bajío region of México.

In the world of manufacturing and injection molding, innovation is key to staying ahead in the game. One such innovation that has been making waves in recent years is 3D metal printing.
