In the world of manufacturing, creating complex plastic parts often requires joining multiple injection-molded components. Welding isn't just for metals—it's a critical post-processing step that transforms simple plastic pieces into functional, sealed, and aesthetically pleasing products. This guide dives deep into the most common plastic welding techniques, helping you choose the right method for your project.

One of the most effective strategies to solve this is the strategic use of Precision Injection Molding combined with advanced hot runner configurations, such as YUDO hot runner systems.
In the high-stakes world of injection molding, downtime is the enemy. A mold on the bench is a line not producing. Among the most frequent culprits of unplanned stops are three common types of physical damage: broken pins, wear, and chipping.
Understanding how to properly diagnose and repair these issues is not just a maintenance task—it's a critical skill for maximizing productivity and protecting a valuable asset. Here’s your practical guide.
If you've been around injection molding, you've heard of hot runner molds. They're often described as the "premium" option—significantly more expensive than traditional cold runner molds, yet overwhelmingly preferred for high-volume production. Why is there such a paradox?
Let's demystify hot runner technology by answering two fundamental questions.
If you're involved in plastic part design, procurement, or manufacturing, you've likely heard the terms "two-plate mold" and "three-plate mold." While they both make plastic parts, the choice between them fundamentally impacts cost, part appearance, and production efficiency.The core difference lies
READ MOREWhen it comes to branding or adding functional markings to products, manufacturers often face a critical choice between three major processes: Laser Marking, Silk Screen Printing, and Pad Printing. Each technology has its own superpowers and limitations.
Choosing wrong can lead to faded logos, high production costs, or a finish that doesn't match your product's quality. This guide cuts through the complexity, providing a clear comparison to help you make an informed decision for your specific application—especially for injection-molded parts like your gas-assist cabinet handles.
