Thermoplastic injection molding is a manufacturing process that creates fully functional parts by injecting plastic resin into a pre-made mold. Thermoplastic injection molding has several sub categories, such as rapid injection molding, which is best utilized in fine tuning prototypes prior to a product being given the go-ahead for production. Another sub category, production injection molding, is best utilized for full product runs.

At ASH Industries, we have the ultimate tool to help when you're designing your part. The N.E.R.D. (New Engineering Reference Device) demonstrates real world molded radii (both inner & outer), wall thicknesses, textures, absent & present weld lines, as well as demonstrations of sink & no sink. This clever device can save you thousands of dollars and prevent mistakes from happening.
Made in America: ASH® is proud to do all our injection molding manufacturing in America, no outsourcing. Every point of our process is done right here in the USA, at our product manufacturing facility in Louisiana. We work with clients all over the United States and can ship products nationally and globally.
MIM works similar to the other injection molding processes - powdered metal is combined with a binding material and then injected into a mold where it's left to form and curate. The end result is a metal part. The process is ideal for the short and long-run production of metal parts, especially those that are smaller in size and more detailed in terms of properties.
Silicone liquid injection molding, or LIM, is a manufacturing process commonly used to make silicone parts (considered a subset of rubber or thermoset) that need to withstand extreme conditions, regardless of the industry. The process is an injection molding process at heart, meaning that materials are injected into a pre-made mold, where heat accelerates part curing.
Ash Industries' Move-A-Mold™ program can help you begin production of your components within one week. If your group has existing molds and you wish to benefit from ASH’s talents, you can move your molds with absolute assurance that your needs will be given priority.
ROTO-XL™ represents ASH’s unique roto-molding division focusing on tooling & hollow thermoplastic components up to 18’ long and 52” in diameter. ROTO-XL™ molding is a cost effective alternative to injection molding for large plastic parts, components which must be hollow (such as berms, barrels, canoes, kayaks, slides), and those which may be made from commodity thermoplastics (polyethylene or polypropylene). During ROTO-XL™, the powdered thermoplastic is placed in the mold; the mold is closed, and it is spun in three axes while being heated. After the thermoplastic has been heated and spread evenly on the inner walls of the mold, the mold is then cooled, opened, and the part removed.
At ASH Industries we are always looking for ways to help you get real parts into your hands rather than waste money on 3D printing. If you 3D print parts to field test or to try something for a new product, you still have to spend the money to go into production. Our SuperMold™ program gives you the parts, tool and puts you in the spot to start production right away.

Hi..its highly appriciated demo but i wonder the difference 3D printer VS molding injection tech? Please advis

[@dennyg5557]

mym 3366 Hello, I am a process / setup technician out of Pennsylvania. There is a huge difference between 3D printing and injection molding. Molding using a injection machine has an advantage of high pressure ability. Clamping, injection, ejection are some of the few pieces of a molding machine that take advantage of high pressure capabilities. Injection molding allows for plastic to be manipulated in various ways by perimeters set in the machine. Injection speeds, metering speeds, clamping speeds are few of the many advantages injection molding carries over 3D printing. While using 3D printing, you can have many variables against you. There is no pressure, just layering or in some cases laser mapped with no pressure. You have a higher fail rate with 3D printing. The amount of defects would be far greater, shorts, splay, non-fill, burns and a few others. The biggest difference would obviously be time. If we had a similar part being made by a 3D printer and a molding machine; assuming processes are set already. The molding machine would mold hundreds maybe thousands to the one part a printer could make. Printers take longer due to the lack of pressure and gravity fed resin but solely relies on plastic bonding by molten plastic being layered. There are massive differences, injection molding beats 3D printing in every aspect. However, sampling or making a tangible part during the engineering stage could find a 3D printer useful. A 3D printer could help save thousands of dollars during the construction phase to see how the product would work and provide customers a part before molding thousands that could be faulty. (Before building a tool a 3D printer could be a game changer). I could continue but I already bounced around enough. Hope maybe this helped you.

3D printing is a additive deposition process wherein you keep adding layers (under heat) but the lower layers have already cooled down. 3D printing is excellent for checking designs and verifying concepts quickly.In Injection moulding entire part is made with plastic injected in molten state into mould wherein when it sets you get a uniform structure which is more stronger than 3D printed objects.
