Sustainable development
The plastic injection moulding industry is constantly adjusting to new environmental values and regulations. Due to plastic industries being monitored now more than ever, recycling and renewable resources are now becoming a priority. Companies are now dedicating time and efforts to using recyclable schemes, using parts which are past the point of repair or regrind plastics.
This aspect of plastic injection moulding will continue to improve, with companies setting future environmental goals and targets.
Lightweight materials
The increased demand for lightweight materials has resulted in low economic costs, fewer energy costs and efficient production. Using lightweight materials also results in less labour work and an easier process of transportation.
Foam injection moulding
Structural Foam Injection Moulding is where molten resin uses nitrogen gas or a chemical agent. This newly developed technique offers an efficient, affordable method to achieve high rigidity in structural parts. Structural foam parts also come with greater thermal isolation and chemical resistance. This results in improved electric and acoustic properties.
Thin wall injection moulding
Thin wall injection moulding is an intricate form of conventional injection moulding. This method mainly targets mass production which contains thin and lightweight materials such as toolmaking. The process of thin moulding has improved cost savings whilst also reducing cycle time.
Automation softwares
The modern world comes with a vast selection of automation softwares. With the introduction of AI, Machine Learning, and online analytics, the opportunities for automation are endless.
These technologies have offered businesses reduced downtime, predictive maintenance programs, faster production cycles and reduced labour costs. Prior to the manufacturing process, these softwares also offer a new world of design and CAD systems.
