Plastic molding machines are precision injection molding equipment that relies on proper pressure control to produce consistent, high-quality parts. Pressure problems can lead to product defects, ...

Injection molding seemed easy—until I tried machining a double convex lens mold. From surface finish to mold alignment, this “simple” project got real fast.

Sheet metal is very easy to form, including the pressing in of intricate shapes with dies and a hydraulic press, but the dies themselves are slightly harder to come by. What if we could 3D print ...

a CNC machine, a cutting tool, a fixture, and so on. This information is only presented to offer a first view of the machining time of these materials. It is limited to the resources used in the ...

Furthermore, excellent part weight and thickness prediction results using the machine learning models demonstrate the effectiveness of the sensor signals for injection molding quality monitoring.

Abstract: A high-frequency injection (HFI) sensorless control for interior permanent magnet synchronous motors with enhanced precision and widened speed range is proposed in this paper. The injection ...

Last but not least, Alpine has enjoyed the support of 3D Systems for over 20 years, with numerous SLA and LPBF machines at its disposal ... For example, for plastic parts, injection molding often ...
