Plastic Injection Molding – A Brief About It
Plastic industry is growing at a rapid pace which is hard to match by any other industry. The innovation in them is made day by day and with every process of technology, new and different techniques are being developed to produce a new object from plastic. One such innovation is plastic injection molding which has […]
Choosing The Right Injection Molding Resins For Your Part
Landing the perfect injection-molded part is never a walk in the park – often times, ensuring success starts right from material selection to process optimization. Even after a proper design and production, achieving high quality finish can be evasive. One of the most important factors in injection molding, is therefore, the selection of your resin. […]
How To Avoid Breaking Cutters (CNC Machining Services)
How to Avoid Breaking Cutters Broken cutters are one of the more frequent challenges of working with CNC machines at both beginner and advanced levels. Once a cutter tool becomes broken, it is rendered totally unusable. Because cutters are very instrumental in milling operations, the cost of replacement can be very high. If you experience […]
Understanding 3D-Printed Heat Sinks
Heat sinks are important components of electronic and mechanical devices, serving the purpose of heat dissipation and cooling. Heat sinks are widely used in laptops, computers, aircrafts, automobiles, engines and many other devices to ensure that working parts function without burning out. Today, we take a look at a part of the 3D printing industry […]
Why Sheet Metal Gauges Are Important for Sheet Metal Fabrications
Sheet metals refer to very thin and flexible metal sheets that can be processed into just about anything. They are relevant across an array of industries including automotive, aerospace, building and construction. Thinner sheet metals are commonly called foil or leaf, while their thicker counterparts may be called plates. While it is possible to physical […]
Understanding Surface Speed in CNC Machine Operations
Surface speed is defined as the speed at which the cutter tool moves across a workpiece. It is used to help determine the optimal spindle rpm (Revolutions per minute) for machining cuts on both lathes and mills. It has a relationship with tool life and generally help machinists to manage the life span of their […]
Some Key Benefits For Using Rapid Tooling for Product Development and Design
One prominent challenge that the product designer’s face isn’t having the ability to make their clients to know how the product may feel and look. The additive manufacturing or rapid tooling technology is gaining huge importance among engineering manufacturers and designers, since it offers the fast and the accurate way of realizing potential of any […]
Metal Fabrication for the Energy Industry
As environmental concerns for conventional energy sources continue to rise, renewable energy manufacturing is taking front row and playing a vital role in delivering clean energy for future use. Metal fabrication is one of the avenues for delivering infrastructure in the energy industry. As a metal fabrication company, Firstpart delivers a complete range of essential […]
Understanding Single-cavity, Multi-cavity, and Family Cavity Mold Concepts
The cost of making injection mold tooling is inarguably part of the biggest expense lines and fixed costs in mass plastic part production. So delicate is the injection mold tooling that a single error in its design will be reflected in all the copies of the part that will be made from the tool. More […]
