Gas assist injection molding (GAIM) is an enhanced injection molding process often applied for complex parts, large parts and parts requiring an attractive, cosmetic finish.Read More
Insert molding is the process of placing of an object (insert) into an injection mold and then encasing some portion of it in plastic.Read More
Injection molding begins with melted thermoplastic being injected into a mold, and a packing stage where pressure is built and the plastic is formed into the shape of the mold. In structural foam molding, the injection stage is basically the same, but the packing stage is augmented by a chemical blowing agent mixed with the material.Read More
Structural foam molding is an option available to manufacturers who are looking for a way to create stronger, more rigid plastic parts. It is also a method used to reduce potential part weight for larger parts.Read More
Structural foam parts have much higher strength-to-weight and strength-to-stiffness ratios than injection molded parts. They are also much more impact resistant due to the microcellular structure.Read More
Over molding is process that adds a softer touch to molded parts while also improving grip on hand controls and providing water resistance and sound absorption.Read More
