At the upcoming Fakuma show in Germany, Netstal will present what company officials are calling a world's first: injection-compression molding on stack molds. Fakuma is set for Oct. 13-17 in ...

Compression molded “smoke pan” designed for conversion from 2-D to 3-D form. Hat angle and plateau optimized to prevent part from shrinking against mold surfaces. Angle changes optimized with radii to ...

When engineers at General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products (GDATP) recently designed the ammunition container for a new aircraft weapon system, they decided very early in the process to make ...

Sacmi Imola S.C.'s Closures and Containers Division will demonstrate its compression blow forming (CBF) technology at NPE2018 in Booth W363. CBF combines elements of compression molding and blow ...

About 50 billion plastic screw caps are made annually, and demand is rising all the time. In the game between the two rival production processes, neither holds all the aces. When it comes to choosing ...

In this study, experiments and mold flow simulation results are presented for a void-free wafer level molded underfill (WLMUF) process with High-Density Fan-Out (HDFO) test vehicles using a ...

Compression molding involves forming of complex shaped components by molding of a charge of fiber reinforced prepreg bulk molding compound (BMC) under heat and high pressures. Unidirectional fiber ...

The conversation around 3D printing and traditional manufacturing methods like injection molding or thermoforming is often oppositional, but it’s not always a question of one versus the other. In ...

The new composites are designed as alternatives to thermoset sheet molding compounds (SMCs). Offering similar mechanical performance, they are much more ductile and, as thermoplastic systems, much ...
