Injection Molding Alternatives : A Guide for Designers and Product Engineers

ISBN-13: 9783446195752 / Angielski

Opis

This guide covers a wide range of processes, variations of injection molding techniques, and low volume production techniques used for prototyping and pre-production. Process innovations such as gas-assisted injection molding, multi-live feed molding, deep-draw blow molding, and in-mold decoration are included. Each process covered includes: the fit, advantages, disadvantages, materials used, design considerations, and applications and tooling considerations. A series of tables provide a quick reference to compare potential processes during the application development process.
