Resin casting lets you produce parts that would be otherwise impossible to make without a full CNC and injection molding set-up. It costs about as much as a 3d printer, 300 to 600 US dollars ...

Synesqo, 3702 Clanton Rd., helps produce the Amodel-brand line of resins called polypthalamides, or PPAs. In a similar ...

The part in question is for a prototype medical ... With the electronics placed in the mold, the resin is degassed and carefully injected, using a syringe to minimise the chance of any air bubbles.

Unless you coat them, metal sheds often develop a layer of rust, but that's not the case for resin. These molded-plastic ...

The pin locates the fastener and protects the threads inside of it from being coated with resin. Next, the composite material is robotically placed into the mold. The mold is closed, the plastic ...

Radii: Sharp corners weaken parts and create molded-in stress from resin flow. Designers should add radii in sharp corners. Ribs: To prevent sink, ribs should be no more than 60% of the wall’s ...

During processing, higher mold temperatures lead to glossier parts when resin is filled with glass fibers or other reinforcements. However, boosting mold temperature means extending cooling times ...

Once a material is selected from 13 available resin combinations ... is then fed through the doser and injection molded. The result is parts—in custom colors—in customers’ hands within ...

Resin, however, is easily distorted by heat compared to metal, so resin-molding waveguide parts must be secured with screws, which require screw-holes that can degrade the antenna’s electric ...

a thermoplastic resin transfer molding process that uses in-mold polymerization of caprolactam to produce near-net shape fiber-reinforced polyamide 6 parts. At K 2016, KraussMaffei will demonstrate ...
