Processing
The most innovative design and a very careful material selection cannot make up for poor processing practices. Molded-in stresses, voids, weak weld lines, and moisture in the material are some of the most common causes for premature product failures. Ignoring sound processing techniques in order to produce aesthetically pleasing parts generally results in parts lacking physical quality and disappointing production levels. The latest advancement in process control technology allows the processors to control the process with a high degree of reliability. Process related failures generally arise from four major categories:
  Improper material drying Cold or overheated material
  Under or over packing Improper additives/regrind mixing and utilization
MOLDING IS SCIENCE - NOT AN ART
Scientific approach to Injection molding is based on aforementioned fact. Everything is substantiated by scientific data and every decision must be backed by scientific data.
