The Nypro Precision Injection Molding Laboratory

Injection molding is the most widely used process for the manufacturing of plastic parts.  The Precision Injection Molding Laboratory at UMass Lowell is sponsored by the Nypro Corporation of Clinton, MA, one of the world's largest plastics manufacturing companies.  The lab is located in Ball 114. 

As time goes on, plastic parts are becoming more complex.  As a result, there is a growing need for precision molding and process optimization equipment.  This state-of-the-art lab contains a number of precision injection molding processes, including several all electric micro molding machines.  Nypro, Nissei, Sumitomo, and Moldflow help support this laboratory.
