Having finished the Tools of the Trade series on circuit board assembly, let’s look at some of the common methods for doing enclosures. First, and possibly the most common, is injection molding. This ...

Conformal cooling channels have emerged as a transformative enhancement to the injection moulding process. Unlike traditional straight-drilled channels, these channels are designed to closely follow ...

An advanced metal injection-molding technology makes it possible to build heatsinks and liquid-cooled cold plates in any shape. An advanced metal injection-molding technology makes it possible to ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. On the left is an example of a 3D-printed metal mold printed with conformal cooling channels. At right are ...

Injection molded plastics have revolutionized design, innovation, and manufacturing in the 20th century. Before 1950, most products were manufactured in stamped steel, die-cast aluminum, zinc, and ...

Designing plastic parts that can be molded has always been important for traditional injection molding processes, but it’s particularly beneficial for parts about to be rapid injection molded (RIM) to ...

There are essentially three widely used technologies for manufacturing plastic products: Injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. Injection molding is the most commonly used process for the ...
