Foam Molding

This manufacturing process is a little bit like injection molding. The difference is that the material (tiny spherical plastic beads) are expanded to 40 times their original size first with steam and pentane. After cooling down, those expanded beads are reheated and injected into a mold.

Metal injection molding

Metal injection molding is very similar to injection molding. But the difference is that metal powders are carefully mixed together with binders, which is made from wax and plastics, to produce the feedstock. Using a standard injection molding machine, the feedstock is melted and…

Compression Molding

Compression molding is commonly used in manufacturing thermoset plastic parts. It is like making waffles in a waffle iron. The materials for compression molding are usually in the form of granules. A two-part mold is heated and the material is placed in the open mold. The molds close under…
