Keeping up with the latest production best practices is a smart — and crucial — decision, regardless of whether it pertains to CNC machining, 3D printing, or, as in this case, injection molding.

Recently [Stefan] of CNC Kitchen took a gander at using his gaggle of 3D printers to try injection molding (IM). Although the IM process generally requires metal molds and specialized machinery, 3D ...

Injection molding is one of the leading processes for manufacturing plastics. It is widely used for mass-producing identical parts with tight tolerances. This white paper provides methods and ...

An injection molded, threaded cap made from a 3D-printed metal mold insert, right, created on a Mantle P-200 machine. Within reach of you right now are probably five to 10 plastic products, or parts ...

Importantly, the molds can be printed out of commonly-used polymers such as PLA, PETG or ABS without any worries about them melting – the system operates at a temperature range of 176 ºF to 410 ºF (80 ...
