For plastic injection molding, different polymers, resins, and blends all have different advantages and drawbacks. When it comes to designing a new plastic component, it’s important to understand that no material is a one-size-fits-all solution. Characteristics...
Embedded systems are becoming more complex, processing and analyzing a growing number of sensors and signals. The result of this increased computing is often higher and more concentrated electronic heat loads. How to Design a Liquid Cooling System for High-Performance...
What Is Rubber Bloom? Bloom refers to formation of a dust or film on the surface of rubber compounds. The particulates that create bloom are recrystallized rubber compounds that are insoluble or unable to stay within the rubber as the material cools down to room...
As a secondary machining process, plastic machining can help save cost and heighten quality control for injection molded plastic components. While plastic injection molding remains the cornerstone of plastic components manufactured at Boyd, plastic machining is one of...
Combining two plastic substrates to create a single part, over-molding is commonly used in the aerospace industry. Plastic over-molding is a manufacturing process that combines two different types of plastic together to create a single part. Typically plastic...
When bonding together two substrates, it is important to consider the surface energy of the material. Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) have made it possible to permanently adhere two dissimilar substrates together. While bonding two surfaces together, there are...
