A short shot is one of the most common defects in injection molding. It occurs when the molten plastic fails to completely fill the mold cavity during the injection process. This results in an incomplete part with flaws like voids, sink marks, or thin areas. Understanding what causes short shots and how to prevent them […]

One of the most important yet overlooked components in injection molds are shut-offs. What is a shut off in injection molding? As a professional plastic injection molding manufacturer, I will help you find it out.

Injection molding is a common manufacturing process used to produce plastic parts. At the heart of every injection mold is the core and cavity which shape the final molded product. But what exactly are the core and cavity? And what is the difference between them? In this comprehensive guide, as a professional plastic injection molding

Decompression, also known as suckback, is an important setting in injection molding that helps relieve pressure at the end of the injection process. As a professional plastic injection molding manufacturer, I am sharing this detailed look at what decompression is, why it’s important, and how it impacts the injection molding process. What is Decompression in

Dosing is a critical part of the injection molding process. It involves delivering a precise amount of plastic material, along with any necessary additives like colorants or reinforcements, into the injection molding machine. Getting the dosing step right is essential for producing consistent, high-quality plastic parts. So in this post, as a professional plastic injection

What is draft angle injection molding? Simply put, a draft angle is a taper that’s applied to the walls of injection molded plastic parts. Draft angles help with ejecting parts from the mold after the injection molding process. In this complete guide, as a professional plastic injection molding manufacturer, I’ll explain everything you need to

What is flash in injection molding? Well, flash refers to excess plastic that leaks out of the mold cavity during the injection molding process. It leaves thin “flaps” of plastic attached to the final part.

Gas assist injection molding is an innovative manufacturing process that produces hollow plastic parts. This technique combines traditional injection molding with pressurized inert gas to improve part quality, strength, surface finish and more. I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about gas assist injection molding and how it works. As a professional plastic injection

Holding pressure is a critical yet often misunderstood aspect of the injection molding process. As a professional plastic injection molding manufacturer, I’m here to demystify this crucial parameter and explain exactly how holding pressure impacts your molded parts. Let’s start from the beginning – what even is holding pressure? A Definition of Holding Pressure In

Injection molding is a common manufacturing process used to produce plastic parts. One critical parameter that impacts part quality is the holding time. But what exactly is holding time and why does it matter? As a professional plastic injection molding manufacturer, I will help you find it out. What is Holding Time in Injection Molding
