Gate placement isn’t just a technical detail—it shapes everything from aesthetics to internal stress, shrinkage control, flow quality, and mold wear.

This is the second in a two-part series discussing adjusting your injection molding process to incorporate PCR.

The plastics industry in Mexico is preparing for the different scenarios amidst the uncertainty arising from the tariffs situation.

This is the first of a two-part series that will provide insight into the adjustments needed in your molding operation to process post-consumer recyclate (PCR).

Free flow or jetting is a defect associated with poor gate design. It should be checked for as part of any new mold design process.

The diesel effect can occur in molds with insufficient venting, leading to burned parts in injection molding. However, several solutions can help prevent this defect.

The world is bracing to adapt as the new administration reveals its hand. Changes in trade agreements will likely reshape supply chains.

Controlling cooling, energy consumption, and downtime can help you reduce your cost per part using the resources you already have in your shop.

The temperature that the polymer experiences upon entering the mold and during solidification directly affects several part properties, ranging from surface appearance to mechanical performance.

Temperature in injection molding processes plays a crucial role in part quality, either improving or compromising essential attributes.
