Figure 1. Pressurized nitrogen gas is injected into a melt to penetrate the part via a network of thicker cross-sectioned gas channels (click to enlarge). Gas-assist injection molding was developed ...

As competitive pressures and globalization continue to put a squeeze on plastics processors, it is becoming ever more important for manufacturers to explore ways to optimize production across the ...

Known for producing hollow parts, gas-assist techniques can overcome many of the limitations of conventional injection molding. The first patents for gasassist injection molding came in the early ...

In an attempt to bring a new level of consistency to gas-assist molding, Ferromatik Milacron has developed Airpress III, a patented system that modifies resin injection and delays the timing for the ...

Metal injection moulding (MIM) is an advanced manufacturing process for the net shape forming of small, complex, high-precision and high performance metal parts. It is a development of the traditional ...

Michael Ladney, who played a key role in automotive plastics with his Detroit Plastic Molding Co., and became a contentious, litigious figure on the gas-assisted injection molding sector, died on ...
