In our previous blog, we talked about the most common types of thermoplastics used in injection molding and how they compare against each other. Today, we’ll be going over improving the characteristics of resins with plastic additives. What are Plastic...
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 such as cost, temperature resistance, manufacturability, impact resistance, and structural integrity can vary...
While plastic injection molding remains the cornerstone of plastic components manufactured at Boyd, plastic machining is one of the many secondary capabilities available to our customers. With a dedicated and automated equipment for machining, Boyd can machine plastic...
Plastic over-molding is a manufacturing process that combines two different types of plastic together to create a single part. Typically plastic over-molding involves the use of a hard plastic covered with a softer plastic that is often rubberized. Alternatively, it...
Imagine that you need to precisely measure a custom-machined, geometrically-complex wheel. Which measuring tool would you use? You could use standard industry equipment like a set of calipers, but that may result in several inaccuracies given the complex shape and...
