Moving beyond Melt Flow Index: select rheological measurements that match the deformation modes of injection molding and film blowing.

Design strategies that balance recyclability and repairability can extend electronics’ lifespan and support circular economy goals.

Molds must be engineered with precision to achieve optimal results, making mold life a key consideration. Several factors influence injection mold life, including material choice, operating conditions, design, and maintenance.

Energy consumption in injection molding can be reduced by paying attention to material selection and by closely watching different stages in process parametrization.

Sustainability has become an indispensable fifth dimension in design, essential from the very start of the process. Moreover, it stands unique in each project like a snowflake, highlighting its custom and distinct approach.

Plastic materials selection involves choosing materials that meet some important characteristics like performance, cosmetics, and costs. But there is not a playbook for doing materials selection. On the contrary, this means doing some property research, taking into account product lifetime and even in some cases, regulation.
