Recreating parts or products without schematic diagrams or digital design files used to be daunting. Before the widespread application of 3D scanning technology, reverse engineering involved manually measuring objects to create drawings. Today, everything has changed. Affordable 3D scanning technologies,…
In the injection molding industry, especially when dealing with special materials and large-sized products, there are significant hidden costs and challenges. Many might not realize that injection molding is not just a simple production process; it involves substantial preparation, adjustments,…
The steps of the IML (In-Mold Labeling) process are as follows: First, prepare the film labels pre-printed with white characters and die-cut them into the required shape. Then, place the film labels in the designated position of the injection mold…
