Since 3D prototyping arrived on the scene, the world of fabrication has dramatically changed. 3D printing, which is also known as Additive Manufacturing, or AM, is a process that creates a three-dimensional object. Under computer control, successive layers of materials are formed into objects of virtually any geometry or shape. First introduced in the 1980s, […]
Early prototyping is critical in many scenarios, especially when it comes to a robust product development process, according to top plastic prototype suppliers. A CNC prototype can help reveal design flaws that might have been otherwise overlooked. Plastic prototyping accomplishes a number of objectives, such as visualizing how a part or component might work and […]
Bright metallization is a process used for creating an array of products for different industries and applications from zinc, copper, or some other metal. With this process, parts and components look shiny and new. For this reason, it is often the preferred method for creating products used in kitchens and bathrooms, as well as on […]
For people to have effective relationships with prototype companies, they need to follow best practices. As a result, everything will run smoothly and effectively. By developing a strong business relationship with rapid prototyping companies, your manufactured parts and components can reach a much broader audience.
Good Negotiations
Rather than take an adversarial approach when negotiating with a […]
Although many industries are making great strides when it comes to new technology and trends, the LED industry is certainly amongst the leaders. Over the last decade, the LED industry has experienced tremendous growth and change, with new applications, increasing efficiencies and lower costs throughout, particularly in automotive LED lighting solutions. For a prototype manufacturing […]
Early prototyping is critical in many scenarios, especially when it comes to a robust product development process. Manufacturers partnered with trusted plastic prototype suppliers and rapid prototyping service providers are able to learn essential production information prior to manufacturing. Plastic prototyping accomplishes a number of objectives, including physically representing how a part or component might […]
To learn how hot runners and manifolds are used in injection molding, it helps to understand what these are. Hot runners are associated with heated components, which facilitate the injection of plastic resin into mold cavities. Molds can be made with either ‘Hot Runner’ or ‘Cold Runner’ mold construction philosophies. Wise use of a ‘Hot […]
Vacuum forming for short run or low volume manufacturing can be a valuable tool in making high quality plastic components.
How Does Vacuum Forming Work?
Vacuum forming is a manufacturing process whereby a thermoplastic material is heated and subsequently formed into a 3D shape. The forming occurs as typically vacuum pressure pulls or sucks the warmed plastic […]
