Researchers in Germany have developed a process monitoring and control system for injection molding cells that automatically detects deviations in product quality, identifies the most likely cause, ...

Measuring cavity pressure during the injection molding process is an effective way to optimize production. This requires the use of sensors to capture data and, perhaps more importantly, interpreting ...

Injection molding is a highly-engineered process that demands careful planning and attention to detail if the finished product is to achieve its full potential. The tips in this article should help ...

In the injection molding of plastics, in-mold sensors, as part of a variety of process control packages, have been around for decades. But comparatively recently, similar technology has begun to make ...

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 ...

A joint research project by the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology (F-ICT, Pfintzal, Germany) and the Fraunhofer Project Centre for Composites Research (FPC, London, ON, Canada) has been ...
