Plastic injection molding remains the most widely used mass production methods despite great strides in the development of 3D printing and other manufacturing techniques. Although advancements in 3D printing are constantly being talked about, the process till has a long way to go if it is to make a run for injection molding’s money as the most efficient means of mass producing parts. 3D printing, however, has its place in product development cycles, being an excellent method for producing prototypes and working models of parts and products. Just the same, it will be long before it can knock plastic injection molding off its place as the most widely used manufacturing technique. Injection molding is a technology and process that involves the feeding of plastic material into a barrel or a heated chamber where it is mixed before being led into a uniquely designed mold cavity in the shape of the final product. The material takes the form of the mold cavity and then hardens into the

One of the greatest challenges that product manufacturers and designers face today is finding ways to speed up time to market. With consumer demands leaning toward rapid product development, manufacturers and product designers feel the pressure of having to churn out products in the fastest time possible. Just the same, new product development still requires a prototyping stage in order to ensure the feasibility of the product design, including its general shape and form, assembly, and functionality. Thanks to new technology, rapid tooling methods are becoming increasingly commonplace, enabling manufacturers to reap the benefits of much faster methods to create prototypes, which in turn speeds up product testing, final production, as well as its release into the market at large. Rapid tooling offers faster lead times of mere days instead of weeks or months, just like conventional manufacturing ways. Five to ten days is already a stretch when trying to get at least 50 prototype

Choosing the right milling services requires careful consideration of many important factors. Unlike general industry manufacturing milling requires custom machining services, which allows for the creation and production of highly customized parts and products according to your own unique design. Finding a good business partner is one of the keys to success in any operation, it is critical to look for milling services that can cater to the unique demands of your design and production needs. Here are some things you should look into when shopping for the right milling company: 1.     Their years of service. Consider how long the company has been serving in the machining industry. The greater their experience in the industry, the more likely they are to know the ins and outs of common challenges that manufacturing brings. This experience gives them leverage especially when it comes to producing complex parts and dealing with hard machined materials, which your project may require.
