Injection molder Fosta-Tek Optics (Leominster, MA) is claiming a first for its process for molding precision military optics that match the accuracy and quality of glass optics machined via diamond ...

Researchers present a new, low-temperature method for injection-molding transparent fused silica glass, similar to how many plastic objects are manufactured. According to the authors, the process ...

Glass is ubiquitous, from high-tech products in the fields of optics, telecommunications, chemistry and medicine to everyday objects such as bottles and windows. However, shaping glass is mainly based ...

A new project will investigate injection molding glass with the aim of creating a process for forming glass and plastic parts with 3D geometries. The GlasSkin project, which was started in December by ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers in Ireland have developed a new technology using materials called bulk metallic glasses to produce high-precision molds for making tiny plastic components. The components, ...

Designing plastic parts that can be molded has always been important for traditional injection molding processes, but it’s particularly beneficial for parts about to be rapid injection molded (RIM) to ...

With the miniaturization of many products, manufacturers are streamlining devices to pack more features into smaller packages. For instance, the pitch (spacing) between contacts in electrical ...
