Throwback Thursday: Run Clean, Run Efficient
If you or your customer is concerned with achieving faster cycle times (and who isn't?) plus cleanroom-caliber mold function and lower maintenance, here's a throwback case study about better undercut release for small medical, or similar, parts using expandable cavities.
If you or your customer is concerned with achieving faster cycle times (and who isn't?) plus cleanroom-caliber mold function and lower maintenance, here's a throwback case study about better undercut release for small medical, or similar, parts using expandable cavities.
This week’s throwback was contributed by Progressive Components and ran in April 2011. Click here to get the details on a still-relevant technology, including a real-world example of how expandable cavities saved a complex mold build.
