Handbook of Metal Injection Molding

Training in Injection Molding is a text- and workbook for technicians employed in the plastics industry. The original German language edition, Technologie des SpritzgieBens, was prepared at the request of three cooperating organizations: the Federal Republic of Germany, the German Federal Association of Employers in the Chemical Industry (BAV Chemie) and the German Chemical Workers Union (IG Chemie). The writing of the book was contracted by them to the Institute of Plastics Processing (Institut fur Kunststoffverarbeitung-IKV) at the Technical University of Aachen.

The objective of this book, being the first one on magnesium injection molding, is to treat both the scientific background and the technological aspects as they are understood at present.

Microstructures, electronics, nanotechnology - these vast fields of research are growing together as the size gap narrows and many different materials are combined. Current research, engineering sucesses and newly commercialized products hint at the immense innovative potentials and future applications that open up once mankind controls shape and function from the atomic level right up to the visible world without any gaps.

In this SolidWorks tutorial we'll learn how to design for rapid plastic injection molding as well as 3D printing.
