3D printing has revolutionized silicone mold making by enabling faster, more affordable, and highly detailed masters for casting. From hobbyists to engineers, creators can now iterate designs quickly ...

Silicone is a useful material for many purposes. Traditionally, creating something out of silicone required injection molding. That’s not difficult, but it does require a good bit of setup. As ...

Aiming to combat labor shortages, Lyons Industries has been gradually installing automated processes to replace the traditionally labor-intensive spray-up process for its fiberglass composite bathtubs ...

An injection molded, threaded cap made from a 3D-printed metal mold insert, right, created on a Mantle P-200 machine. Within reach of you right now are probably five to 10 plastic products, or parts ...

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: water always finds a way in. That’s particularly problematic for things like wire splices in damp environments, something that no amount of electrical tape ...

Building hot rods remained basically the same for decades, with tried-and-true “old school” methods being used to create increasingly complex builds. Computers really changed the game, allowing things ...
