[JohnSL] and his friend both have injection molding machines. They decided to compare the aluminum molds they usually use with some 3D printed molds created with a resin printer. They used two ...

As cool as resin-based 3D printers are, they’re not without their shortcomings. One sore point, especially for those looking to document their prints, is that the translucent resins often favored for ...

• Gas-assist injection molding can cut weight, cycle time, and press requirements. • Experienced molders can help OEMs develop tooling, refine process parameters, and choose materials for high-gloss ...

In composites, heat transfer follows resin injection and this heat transfer is very sensitive to processing conditions. High-quality heat flux sensors permit detection of the resin flow front and ...

Researchers in Germany are investigating the use of in-mold pressure sensors to control mold filling in high-pressure resin transfer molding (HP-RTM). The goal is a potential new means of improving ...

The progression of resin through a mold during infusion is a complex and often inscrutable phenomenon. Seat-of-the-pants mold design based on past experience might work for simple part geometries, but ...
