Thermoformed (or vacuum formed, as it is also known) plastic is THE state-of-the-art process for producing panels, covers, bezels and housings that are attractive and durable — yet lightweight and affordable. Attractive: Thermoformed plastic parts can be produced in a nearly unlimited variety ...
Less Expensive Tooling Than Plastic Injection Molded Parts:Tooling for a pressure-forming part can be as much as 90% cheaper than tooling for a plastic injection molded part! Quicker to Market than Plastic Injection Molded Parts:Because the tooling for pressure-formed parts is much simpler than ...
Warpage is a distortion in wood or plastic. It's impossible to totally prevent warpage, but some good tips for avoiding it are...
New result plots for Warp analysis help you isolate the cause of warpage when designing plastic parts. Warpage occurs to plastic molded parts because of three main causes: nonuniform shrinkage, differential cooling, and molecular or fiber orientation. The image shows result plots of the total ...
To make a plastic compound electrically conductive, there must be enough conductive filler particles—and they must be dispersed well enough throughout the polymer—to form a network through which an electrical current can flow. The point where conductivity begins is called the “percolation threshold...
Because an LGF’s advantage comes from its longer length, it is important to avoid breaking the fiber during processing. LGF-reinforced plastic can be molded in standard equipment, but manufacturers should follow recommended processing guidelines, such as those described in the of this e-book. ...

You can also more easily identify the cause of warpage in the design and injection process to avoid the plastic warping when it comes out of the mold.Isolate the cause of plastic parts warpage by breaking down the overall displacement into its three source terms: u...
1. Soldering difficulties: Due to the lower visibility of the soldered area and high level of complexity, land grid array assembly machinery is usually much more expensive than those used for other packaging types.2. Sensitivity to board warpage and contamination: land grid arrays require a flat...
t go all the way through. It’s called “blind” because you can’t see through to the other side. Blind vias are used to save space on the PCB. However, it requires careful drilling depth (in the Z-axis), and it often presents challenges in plating the hole, so it is rarely ...
