Precision Injection Molding Lab : Plastics Engineering : UMass Lowell

Injection molding is the most widely used process for the manufacturing of plastic parts. The Precision Injection Molding Laboratory at UML 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.
