We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Injection Molding",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Injection moulding service UK office opened from
Husky Injection Molding Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "North American builder of injec tion moulding machines and systems, Husky, has opened a UK service and sales office to meet the growing demands of the market".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Midsized metalizer offers fast cycle times from
Vergason Technology: "Users of a modular metallising system for coating plastics can choose between sputtering, thermal evaporation, or CatArc cathodic arc for rapid cycling and higher quality".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Protoform
concerning its 'Space Puzzle' moulds for RP and production
- take a look at 'Space Puzzle' moulds for RP and production
which says: "Space Puzzle Molding is a rapid prototyping and a production tool moulding small volumes for trials and then asily modifid for volume production tooling".
Take a look also at the news release from Protoform, Modular moulding halves tooling lead times,
as well as Improve injection moulded plastics consistency from Eurotherm,
and Rack stores robot end-of-arm tooling from SAS Automation.
