The automotive industry is constantly evolving with innovative technology that creates the safest ride. To showcase the advanced technology this year Automotive Testing Expo will be back to full capacity, and a full show will be held on Oct. 25-27. The event will be...
Just like so many others, the plastic molding industry is feeling the effects of supply chain bottlenecks, shortages, and rising costs of gasoline, products, and tools. According to a post on the Kearney organization’s website, nearly every sector connected with...
The push toward the use of “circular plastics” continues to grow, and researchers and scientists continue to study its benefits. During the World Petrochemical Conference on March 22, the American Chemistry Council’s Vice President of Plastics, Joshua Baca, planned to...
Are you looking to advance your expertise in the plastics industry? Are you looking for a reason to get out of Michigan for a couple days? If so, Plastics Technology Expo 2022 might be perfect for you and your team! Scheduled for March 29 to 31 at the Donald E....
Our smallest machine packs a big punch. One of our classic machines, the 170 Ton Van Dorn remains popular here at Plastic Molding Development for many reasons. Engineers and molders appreciate its reliability, strength, and ease of use. It allows for exceptional...
Sometimes, recycling plastics means changing them into something completely different. For the past several years, Meijer and Dow, a leading sustainable materials science company, have been involved in a project to transform plastic bags into asphalt. In 2021, their...
We wouldn’t be doing what we do if we didn’t have faith in the power of plastics, and a recent study only reinforces our commitment to the industry. The Plastics Industry Association recently published a report that says plastics may be more sustainable than other...
Plastic mold testing is an integral step in the development of automotive parts. Engineers spend countless hours developing parts, but it isn’t until the automobile part is in their hands that they can truly identify tweaks that may be necessary. Working with a...
When it comes to mold tryouts, one time might not be enough. Molds may need repeated attention, and different solutions may be needed for different situations. Repeated mold tryouts may be needed due to a large viscosity shift and large static and dynamic pressure...
Mold tryouts are an integral step in the mold making process. They are an important part of reaching cycle time goals and consistent quality for the molder. Performing this step is not always possible at other facilities, especially due to time, space, and money...
