ABS injection molding properties and conditions
What Is the ABS injection molding Material? Commonly known as ABS injection molding material, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene is an opaque thermoplastic polymer. ABS is amorphous and therefore has no true melting point. Thermoplastic (VS “thermoset”) describes how the ABS plastic responds to heat. A thermoplastic material becomes liquid when heated to a certain temperature level (105 degrees Celsius in the case of ABS material). Significant degradation will not happen after they go through the process of heating to their melting point, cooling and reheating. Thermoplastics like the ABS plastic will not burn. Instead, they will become liquid, so they can be easily injection molded and then recycled. On the contrary, the thermoset plastic materials only allow for one-time heating (especially during the plastic … Read more

How to design plastic wall thickness for injection molding product?
When designing a plastic part, its wall thickness must be carefully identified by properly considering the balance among weight, geometry and budget. For instance, though the thick plastic walls offer greater strength, they tend to warp when cooled in the manufacturing process. Among all the design elements, the thickness of a wall exerts the largest impact on production cost, efficiency and the quality of the final product. A Reasonable Wall Thickness for plastic injection molding While thicker walls are engineered for additional strength, thinner walls are created for some other benefits. As a matter of fact, you can get more benefits by keeping the part thinner and lighter when the production runs longer. As a result, it is of particular importance to … Read more
What to consider before getting plastic injection molding quotes?
A plastic part can be manufactured in many different ways. If you anticipate a high enough production volume, one of the most cost efficient ways to get the job done should be the plastic injection molding process. However, there are multiple considerations when you decide on the plastic injection molding quotes process: Sales Volume Appropriate Budget Specific Application Time Cost Sales volume As stated above, the production method is mainly determined by the sales volume. According to experience, if you are going to sell 1,000 or more parts each year according to forecast (on basis of reliable market analysis, not just because someone said he was going to buy one), it will be worthwhile to consider the plastic injection molding process. … Read more
What is the advantages of plastic compare to metal?
With the appearance of engineering grade resin materials, the conversion from metal to plastic was introduced in the 1950s. However, until today a lot of manufacturers are still not familiar with the benefits of the technique. Now, in the ever changing landscape, many different sophisticated and cost effective plastic materials are being researched and developed, while many industries have come to realize the benefits of replacing metal with plastic when producing parts. As a matter of fact, for most companies which have replaced metal with plastic, they can expect cost savings of up to 25 – 50%. The plastic molded parts are able to offer a great number of benefits to businesses in any industry, thanks to the plastic material … Read more
3D Printing VS Injection Molding
We held a discussion on 3D printing vs injection molding. Although the new printing technology has come into existence for quite some time, it has only been about 5 years since the technique becomes known to the public. During that period of time, the actual capabilities of 3D printing technology has been overshadowed by how the public perceives it. Now, people would like to inquire more about it along with more recognition of it – every industry player seeks to explore the 3D printing technique, with the aim to find an alternative for their future projects, so that they will be able to move on from more conventional methods, such as the injection molding process. 3D Printing VS Injection Molding … Read more
