Aluminum is fast emerging as the preeminent material in the injection molding plastics industry. The benefits of using aluminum tooling as opposed to steel tooling in the process of fashioning molded plastic parts are numerous. However, there are some distinct drawbacks that one must take into account before deciding which metal to select for a particular project. The most effective way to make this critical decision is to use various methods of computer simulation. Simulation allows a firm to examine the myriad of unique factors surrounding a specific project, and how they affect the decision of which type of metal to use.

Learn which types of programs are best for which types of projects, and how the engineers at SimuTech can help you decide which simulation programs best fit the specifications of your firm’s projects.

Take a look inside the four basic steps of the staking process and discover how Infrastake harnesses infrared light to join plastics together in an innovative way.

The process of staking plastic parts has been dominated by three main methods; hot air, thermal, and ultrasonic. Each method has intrinsic strengths and weaknesses with regard to the strength of the joints formed and the minimization of cycle time. The revolutionary InfraStake process was discovered out of a desire for a more effective process for bonding plastic parts.

By using infrared energy to heat the plastic and carefully controlling the environment around the plastic boss, the InfraStake process allows for the creation of stronger, more dimensionally stable plastic parts.
