If you’ve discussed a plastic component with a manufacturer, reviewed a tooling quotation or received feedback on a CAD model, you might have come across ...

If you’re designing a plastic component, you may already have its shape and function in mind. Choosing its material means considering what it needs to ...

Getting a new component through prototyping is a big step, but there’s still work to do before it’s ready for full production. A part that ...

Your plastic components have arrived, but some don’t fit, have marks on their surfaces or show damage around an edge. You need to establish whether ...

A compression-moulded part depends on, well, compression. For thermoset components, pressure forces the material into shape while heat initiates and accelerates curing. So, why would ...

Cooling time is part of what determines how many acceptable parts an injection moulding cell produces in a shift. Reduce it safely and you may ...

Composite compression moulding already produces components that can combine strength, heat resistance and dimensional stability. It’s an established process, so its future will come from ...

You should choose your moulding process based on your component’s function, material, shape and production volume. The aim is to meet your specification at an ...

During a production run, an injection moulding machine repeats the same cycle thousands, even tens of thousands, of times. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that ...

An injection-moulded component may take only seconds to form. However, its quality, service life, conformity to your specifications and delivery schedule all depend on decisions ...

You’ve approved your component design and moved beyond prototyping. Demand now justifies a dedicated production process, but you don’t expect to manufacture millions of components. ...

Flash is material that flows beyond the component’s intended geometry, usually at the mould parting line. It can also form around inserts, ejector pins or ...

Temperature control plays a central role in injection moulding quality. It affects how the material flows, fills the mould, solidifies or cures and performs once ...

Compression moulding uses heat and pressure to form a measured charge of thermoset or thermoplastic material, including fibre-reinforced composites, inside a mould. With careful planning, ...

The best way to choose between compression moulding and injection moulding is to start by identifying the material your component needs. Your material choice depends ...

Composite materials enhance compression moulding by improving both the manufacturing process and the performance of the finished component. Rather than using an unreinforced polymer, compression ...

When creating a plastic component that needs to carry a load, remain stable under heat, perform well in demanding conditions or replace a heavier metal ...

Injection moulding is an excellent process for consistency, repeatability and a high production rate. However, if an injection moulded component batch arrives with marks, distortion, ...

You should select compression moulding for your next project if it suits the component’s performance, geometry and commercial requirements. That is, in short, all there ...

Regrind plastic is plastic material that has already been processed and then ground down so it can be used again in manufacturing. In plastic moulding, ...

If you’re developing a plastic product for the food & drink, packaging or hygiene-sensitive sectors, compliance needs to be considered from the start. It can ...

Choosing the right plastic for your injection-moulded product is one of the most important decisions in the development process. The material you choose affects your ...

Compression moulding is a versatile manufacturing process. It’s used for producing durable and reliable plastic and composite components. And it’s especially useful when you need ...

Injection moulding is one of the most widely used manufacturing processes to make the plastic parts found in many electrical and electronic products. This includes ...

Food packaging gets scrutinised like almost nothing else in manufacturing. The materials, processes and handling all matter, because the end-product ends up in direct contact ...

If you’re comparing plastic materials, you’ll quickly come across two main categories: thermoplastics and thermosets. The fundamental difference is that thermoplastics can be remelted, reshaped ...

Injection moulding is one of the most widely used plastic manufacturing processes in the automotive industry. From interior trim to under-the-bonnet parts and electrical components, ...

Compression moulding is an excellent option for your new or upgraded product line. It’s widely used for strong, heat-resistant components. But whether it’s right for ...

If you’re considering compression moulding for a new product line, you may be wondering what materials you can use.

If you’re exploring manufacturing options for your plastic product line, sustainability is probably at the top of your list of priorities.

Here at Talisman Group, we offer both injection moulding and compression moulding. We’ll help you decide which is best for your needs or decide if ...

Compression moulding is your go-to option when you need strong, durable, heat-resistant plastic parts. It’s not necessarily what your business needs in every situation. Sometimes, ...

This article explores why injection moulding has become the best choice for producing many plastic parts for the automotive industry.

This article explores what makes HexMC materials unique and where they’re making the most significant impact across different industries.

Compression moulding involves placing a precisely measured charge into a mould, which then applies heat and pressure.
