Gas assisted injection molding (GAIM) is a manufacturing process that uses pressurized gas to create hollow plastic parts.

ArabPlast, which will be held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 13 to 15 December 2023, is the leading trade fair for plastics, rubber, petrochemicals and packaging in the MENA region.

There are two main ways to control the injection molding temperature: barrel temperature control and mold temperature control.

Overmolding is a manufacturing process that combines two or more plastics or metals to create a single part. The first plastic or metal is typically a structural material, such as ABS or nylon. The second plastic generally is a decorative or functional material, such as rubber or silicone.

A mold gating system is a network of channels that deliver molten plastic from the injection molding machine nozzle to the mold cavity. It is an important part of the injection molding process, as it affects the quality and efficiency of the molded parts.

The equipment needed in injection mold making can be divided into two main categories: basic equipment and Auxiliary equipment.

Injection pressure is the pressure at which the molten plastic is injected in to a mold cavity. It is typically measured in tons per square inch(psi) or megapascals (MPa)

A draft angle is the angle applied to the vertical wall of an injection molded parts to assist with releasing the part from the mold.

PEEK injection molding is a process of creating parts from PEEK (polyether ether ketone), a high-performance thermoplastic. PEEK is known for its strength, stiffness, chemical resistance, and biocompatibility, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, including medical devices, aerospace components, and industrial equipment.

In injection mold steel, quenching is the process of rapidly cooling a heated part in a quenching medium, such as water, oil, or air. This process can harden the steel and improve its strength.
