When fastening pieces of concrete, mechanical anchors are a widely-used and economically viable option. There are, however, other fastening systems to choose from when considering which anchor to use in your construction projects. Chemical anchors are complex devices that offer … Read More

Blow molding is a molding process used in the manufacturing industry to create hollow objects made of plastic. Like other molding processes, it involves the use of heated, liquid material that’s forced into a mold cavity under pressure. Blow molding … Read More

Thermoforming is a manufacturing process that’s used to create plastic products out of heated plastic. It involves thin sheets of plastic at a precise temperature — just enough to make the plastic pliable but not melt it — after which … Read More

Compression molding is a molding process that involves the use of a heated and pressurized plastic polymer material to create three-dimensional objects. From rubber boots and shoes to automotive fenders and spoilers, it’s become a common process in the manufacturing … Read More

Also known as traditional die casting, high-pressure die casting is a metal casting process that involves injecting molten metal — steel, zinc, copper, aluminum, lead, magnesium, etc. — into a three-dimensional mold. The base metal is heated until it achieves … Read More

Have you heard of plastic extrusion? Like other extrusion processes, it involves forcing liquefied material through a die. As the material goes through the die, it takes the die’s shape. Plastic extrusion uses this same principle to create three-dimensional objects … Read More

Compression molding is a molding process that’s characterized by the use of a heated mold that’s exposed to pressure. Like other molding processes, it involves placing a material, typically plastic or a similar polymer, in a mold cavity. After the … Read More
