In today’s world, manufacturers are always looking for ways to produce their products more efficiently and at a lower cost. One way they can do this is by using small plastic parts instead of metal parts. Polymers now allow injection molders to create strong, flexible, and durable components that were once made of metal. This not only reduces costs, but also makes production more efficient. Let’s take a closer look at how this works. Injection Molding Injection molding is a manufacturing process in which polymers are melted and injected into a mold to create various shaped parts. This process ..read more

A close-up look at some of the equipment we use, including the Branson Ultrasonic Welder Ultrasonic welding is a process that uses high-frequency sound waves to join metal parts. It’s a non-contact joining method that offers many advantages over other joining methods, such as adhesives, rivets, and mechanical fasteners. Ultrasonic Welding Is A Non-contact Joining Process Ultrasonic welding is a non-contact joining process that uses high-frequency sound waves to heat and melt materials together. The energy is transferred through the air, so no contact is required for welding. It’s swift and ca ..read more

While often used interchangeably with finishing processes, secondary machining processes are done after primary manufacturing methods such as injection molding, thermoforming, and CNC machining. As the final stage in manufacturing, it helps improve the surface finish, aesthetics, dimensional integrity, and tolerance of molded parts when they emerge from the press. The Secondary Machining Processes Secondary machining is a cost-effective strategy for the production of workpieces that involves some if not all the following processes: CNC Machining This automated manufacturing process contr ..read more

The global pandemic disrupted the supply chain. The risk is mostly seen in industries that rely on manufacturing and suppliers from Asia, such as plastic components, pharmaceutical supplies, electronics and semiconductor packaging. Industries in many countries were forced to look for alternative sources of supply to prevent interfering with operations. Here are ways to prepare for security in short- and long-term supply crisis. LOOK FOR LOCAL SUPPLIERS Relying entirely on global sources can cause delays, especially during catastrophic events. The Coronavirus Pandemic proved how fragile the gl ..read more
