Flow lines or flow marks are a common visual defect in injection molding. Manifesting as wavy lines or streaks on the surface of the molding, flow lines generally occur when molten material flows unevenly and when some areas of the molding cool faster than others. Although flow lines shouldn’t affect tolerance or the structural integrity […]
3ERP’s polyurethane casting service lets you make small batches of plastic parts at a much lower cost than injection molding. These high-quality prototypes have a great surface finish and can provide a pathway to mass produced molded parts. Many product designers are, however, unfamiliar with polyurethane casting, which requires a unique set of design considerations […]

Plastic is typically a synthetically produced non-metallic compound that can be involved in making various sorts of products effectively to meet client’s demands. Looking to hire a plastic mold maker? You can easily find […]
Prototype molding- what it is? When we talk about Prototype Molding, it is specifically intended to produce prototypes rapidly and small to medium series of plastic parts. In a nutshell, we can say this is the most convenient method to produce samples, prototypes, and small series rapidly in an inexpensive way. To get the best […]
When we talk about mold, it is simply a negative impression that you want to cast as per your requirement. It can capture each detail of an object right down to the slightest indentation. Plastic injection molds are usually made from toughened or pre-hardened steel, aluminum, or copper alloy. When we talk about the most […]
Molds — negative impressions of parts that can be filled with material — are an integral part of manufacturing. In fact, the majority of the world’s plastic parts are made via injection molding. But while metal injection molds are expensive and can only be made by professionals, flexible silicone molds are highly affordable and can […]
Injection molding simulation software is an important part of the IM workflow, allowing designers to assess the feasibility of their molds and moldings. This article looks at how it works. What is injection molding? Injection molding is a manufacturing process behind a huge number of manmade objects, from water bottles to automotive components. It comprises […]
CNC milling is one of the most popular options for manufacturing prototypes and parts that entail cutting or drilling. The technology utilizes a rotating cylindrical cutting tool to cut or drill a design from metal or plastic material. Compared to traditional manufacturing techniques, CNC milling offers advantages such as high production speed, greater precision, and […]
Fundamentally, you need precision machines. If your machine tolerance is +/- 0.05mm, but you try to make some parts with +/-0.01mm tolerance, that’s not going to happen for sure. An ant won’t be able to lift an elephant. Once you have precision machines ready, does that mean you can start to make precision parts? Not […]
