A collaboration between show organizer PLASTICS, recycler CPR and size reduction experts WEIMA and Conair will seek to recover and recycle 100% of the parts produced at the show.

3D Systems’ Atlas and Atlas-HS thermoplastic pellet extrusion 3D printers offer high-speed printing of molds with high-performance, high-temperature materials.  

NPE2024: Dry ice cleaning solutions that elevate sustainable and productive operations for mold cleaning are made possible through Cold Jet’s smart blaster machines.

This series of articles examines the injection molding process, through which a plastic pellet is transformed into a plastic part.

This is the first article in a new series that will examine the injection molding process by breaking down the path a plastic pellet takes as it is transformed from Pellet 2 Part. It covers what every moldmaker should know about raw materials, including the fundamentals of viscosity curves, Melt Flow Index, Melt Flow Rate, shear and more.

With so much happening in a busy show year between NPE2018 and Amerimold 2018, MoldMaking Technology is revisiting some of the technology that was on display. In case you missed it: Cold Jet says that the Combi 120H eliminates the need for cleaning parts with aqueous methods that require part drying and water treatment or containment systems.

Cold Jet LLC showcases how they use dry ice (solid CO2) in their parts cleaning process.

Injection molding is a complex system of machinery, fluid dynamics, and thermal conductivity. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Let’s simplify it. Let’s break the mold down into two simple parts, the heat exchanger and the pressure vessel, and review how they can impact overall part quality and dimensions.

Here are some links to extra information on raw materials:

Here’s what every moldmaker should know about an injection molding machine’s reciprocating screw, which is often misunderstood and applied to the process incorrectly.
