Design for Manufacturing Increases Efficiency and Reduces Waste

One way we can positively influence how the manufacturing process impacts the environment is through   Design for Manufacturability (DFM).   One of the tenets of DFM is to reduce waste, which aligns with the principles of sustainable product manufacturing. Tooling  – Using an insert system means less waste when product lines become obsolete or change. Material – DFM reduces material waste through design optimization. It can also design the part to use less material while maintaining structural integrity and quality. Material selection plays a significant role in sustainable injection molding. As interest in this area grows, there is an increasing list of viable options: Visit here for more details:  https://quickparts.com/gb/how-to-build-sustainability-into-injection-molding/

Understanding When to Use Cast Urethane for Your Project

Cast Urethane is a popular manufacturing process used across a wide range of industries. It involves the creation of a mold, which is then filled with liquid polyurethane resin to create a final product. This process is ideal for creating small to medium-sized runs of parts, providing production-level material performance at a lower cost than traditional injection molding.   One of the key benefits of Cast Urethane is its versatility. It can be used to create complex geometries, thin-walled parts, and parts with undercuts or other features that are difficult to achieve with other manufacturing processes. It is also a great option for creating parts with varying durometers or material properties, as the resin can be customized to meet specific requirements.
