The Future of Industrial Manufacturing (3-Axis and 5-Axis CNC Milling Machines),
Today you’re going to see how CNC machining has evolved from 3-axis to 9-axis mill machines. We are going to see how the manufacturing sector is benefiting. We will look at; CNC Milling and its ability to work with many axes. These are: 3-axis CNC machining 4-axis CNC machining 5-axis CNC machining 7-axis CNC machining 9-axis CNC machining Let’s jump right in; CNC Milling Milling is part of the CNC machining process that involves multi-point rotary cutting tools. You can take a digital form of a part and produce the physical form using raw materials. CNC milling has many benefits

Some Tips For Operating and Maintaining Plastic Injection Molds
The molds represent a very crucial part of injection molding. The quality and suitability of a mold are important in injection molding. So is the suitability of the plastic for the product type. A well-made mold contributes a large chunk to the total cost of injection molding. Molds can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. And when you spend that much on something it is worth paying attention to how to make it last and work well. To plastic engineers and manufacturers, the molds are an investment. One which generates a return. This is in the form of a cost

What is CNC machining? A Comprehensive Guide
Today you will learn about CNC machining and its applications. This comprehensive guide will cover the following topics; What is CNC machining? Types of CNC machining operation Equipment and Components used Materials used Let’s dive right in. What is CNC machining? CNC machining is a term common in industrial manufacturing. CNC stands for Computer numerical control. CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing technique that utilizes computerized controls and tools. Machine tools remove layers of material from a workpiece to make custom-designed parts. A CNC machine is programmable and autonomous. The process can use a wide range of materials including

Scaling Heights with Rapid Tooling and Rapid Prototyping
Rapid tooling is gaining ground and making bridges for manufacturers. It is giving access to less turnaround time and most of all time-to-market Today we will cover Rapid tooling and how it is revolutionizing manufacturing. Topics discussed include; Rapid prototyping Direct and Indirect rapid tooling Applications of rapid tooling Advantages and disadvantages What is Rapid tooling? Rapid tooling (RT) otherwise know as bridge tooling or soft tooling is a vital step in production. It uses rapid prototyping processes like 3D printing to speed up prototyping methods. Rapid tooling is also used in low-volume manufacturing. Rapid tooling uses CAD models of

NYLON VS ABS INJECTION MOLDING
The plastic industry has seen a lot of growth over several decades. The direction of growth might shift towards one form of plastic or the other in different years. But the general effect is the increasing options for plastics. Product designers and manufacturers today have a myriad of choices in material selection. Nylon and ABS are two very well used plastics in the manufacturing of plastic products. They are particularly attractive to injection molders as they offer some peculiar advantages. Several nylon products will do just as well if they got made with ABS and vice versa. There are also

How To Improve The Plastic Injection Molding Flash/Burrs (more detail)
In the mechanical process, flash and burrs are molding defects that generate after processing. They can affect product quality and cost. It means the appearance of debris on the plastic molded parts is flash and burrs defects. A large number of flash and burrs on plastic parts means the low quality of products. They’re very common issues and have different names such as flash, burrs, and spew. Flash and burrs are challenges for the technicians in the plastic molding process. Some industries need deflashing and deburring products. Such as medical, marine, automotive, aerospace, and electronics. Flashing is excess material that

How To Improve The Sink Mark In Injection Molding
Many factors affect plastic part design and functionality. A sink mark appears on the surface where a plastic part has variations in wall thickness. Large variations mean a large number of sink marks on a plastic molded part. If cooling time and the mechanism is not enough for the cooling process. Then the sink mark creates as thick parts need much time for cooling. By reducing the thickness of the thickest wall, you can faster the cooling process. In this way, you can reduce the sink mark on the plastic molded parts. They occur at the localization above ribs, internal

Polycarbonate Injection Molding Process Guide
As our industries grow, the need to optimize our production cycles is inevitable. From raw materials to tooling, we are aiming at cost efficiency and quality. Focusing on the plastic industry, we can see developments in machinery and tooling. Over the years, we have seen plastic production leap huge strides. Take a look at plastic injection molding. The art dates back to the 19th century. John and Isaiah Hyatt are the minds behind the concept of injection molding. From then we have seen developments on the idea to the point of integrating automation in the cycle. We are now using
