Injection Molding

The temperature that the polymer experiences upon entering the mold and during solidification directly affects several part properties, ranging from surface appearance to mechanical performance.

Industry 6.0 represents the next evolution in manufacturing, driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous decision-making robots, known as infobots. The progression of injection molding technology and its integration with advanced robotics offer greater efficiency and sustainability.

For tooling digitalization, we already spoke about the basics and application milestones here the final chapter closing loop checking the role of knowledge management across the supply chain.

Temperature in injection molding processes plays a crucial role in part quality, either improving or compromising essential attributes.

Understanding how the process’s nature may induce deviations from the part design is crucial to meeting quality requirements in any molding project.

Look for opportunities to shorten each step of the molding cycle. To understand these opportunities, learn how the material behaves inside the mold.

Sustainability or design for the environment was almost always considered at the end of the design process. This can no longer be the case; sustainability is no longer about the environment. It is the environment. 

Molds must be engineered with precision to achieve optimal results, making mold life a key consideration. Several factors influence injection mold life, including material choice, operating conditions, design, and maintenance.

The injection molding market features diverse companies, each providing tailored solutions to meet specific needs.

Energy consumption in injection molding can be reduced by paying attention to material selection and by closely watching different stages in process parametrization.
