Rotational molding is a unique process, with high growth rate, which allows the use of geometries and materials adapted to particular needs. It superior other manufacturing methods in terms low cost, break-even point size parts that can be manufactured. products are often substitute, lower mass, for traditionally used materials. In this scientific paper it analyzed recent literature related fie...

Cleft of the lip, alveolus and palate (CLAP), is a complex facial deformity, which requires multiple surgeries and bone grafting to correct the defect. Active or passive Pre surgical Orthopedic Molding reduces the deformity and thus reduces number of surgeries to achieve superior post surgical esthetic. Pre-surgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) is passive molding which align and approximate the ...

Polylactic acid is one of the most used biopolymers due to its overall properties and biodegradability. Nevertheless, polylactic has important drawbacks such as brittleness, low thermal stability, higher cost than commodity polymers. In order overcome those disadvantages without compromising biodegradability, addition wood particles annealing on crystallinity impact strength wood-polylactic bio...

Differing from the hot-pressing method in the manufacturing of traditional wood-rubber composites (WRCs), this study was aimed at fabricating WRCs using rubber processing to improve water resistance and mechanical properties. Three steps were used to make WRCs, namely, fiber-rubber mixing, tabletting, and the vulcanization molding process. Ninety-six WRC panels were made with wood fiber content...

The presence of an already molded component during the second and subsequent molding stages makes multi-material injection molding different from traditional injection molding process. Therefore, designing multi-material molded objects requires addressing many additional manufacturability considerations. In this paper, we first present an approach to systematically identifying potential manufac...

Injection molding technology continually develops, with major milestones including the introduction of the first thermoplastic materials, the reciprocating screw design, the first hot runner systems, engineering materials, the introduction of microprocessors for machine control, Computer Aided Engineering flow simulation software, and recently the application of expert systems for optimized mac...

Nowadays injection molding is probably the most important method of Processing of consumer and industrial goods, and is performed everywhere in the world. The developing of injection molding becomes a competition from day to day. This Process now integrated with computer control make the production better in quality and Better quantity. The trends of producing a plastics product in injection mo...
