Injection machines use gravity feed and augurs to force material into the cavity of the mold and then use robotics to move parts through the process that is almost automatic and monitors key quality assurance variables.
-
Mixing the plastic and the powder is a key factor in the overall technology of creating molded parts and is really where the flexibility and creativity of ensuring the engineered part matches the specifications of the customer.
-
In the final stages of the metal injection molding process, hydrogen torches impart the right qualities to molded parts and protect the molybdenum heating elements from oxygen and deterioration.
-
The process of metal injection molding involves several variables including shrinkage of the parts in the furnace from the plastic content of the compounds used. Today, we'll look at some of those variables from NetShape Technologies.
-
The powders and materials of metal injection molding are an important aspect to getting part within customer specifications. Very small parts can be produced using the process at NetShape Technologies in Solon, Ohio.
-
The process of metal injection molding at NetShape Technologies in Solon, Ohio is a process that starts with several metallic powders and form holding plastics to create a polymer that is then used to create parts.
