Nicolet Plastics LLC, a Wisconsin-based custom plastic injection molder providing manufacturing and engineering support for a range of industries, today announced the addition of a 360-ton two-shot ...

The hybrid-composite rear load floor uses unidirectional (UD) thermoplastic tapes plus direct-long-fiber thermoplastic (D-LFT) composites. Thermoplastic tapes provided high stiffness/strength in a ...

Shindo noncrimp fabrics (NCFs) have been used for various products in the aerospace, marine, civil construction, and repair and reinforcement fields. There are four features that characterize this new ...

On most shop floors today, electric injection molding machines are becoming the norm, surpassing hydraulic machines, which long have been the most popular choice. All-electric presses generally are ...

First, let’s establish that every process must follow normal scientific molding protocol. With pack and hold at zero, the shot should be 95 to 98% full. Temperatures and pressures should be kept as ...

Rib parts (top) trialed using spring-frame molding (shown here, bottom, with curved C-channel part) and double diaphragm forming (DDF) processes in the DARPA-funded and Boeing co-funded RAPM program ...

Plastic injection molding efficiency is dependent on the ability of a molder to control and reduce unplanned downtime. A chaotic maintenance strategy leads to scheduling failures, erosion of customer ...

System-in-Package (SiP) technology has been used for a wide range of electronic devices, but the warpage behavior of the package can be difficult to control and predict due to complex manufacturing ...
