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 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. 3 Ton - 3 gram Nissei All Electric Micro Molder 20 Ton - 6 gram All Electric Sumitomo Micro Molder 50 Ton - 20 gram Roboshot All Electric Micro Molder 80 Ton HPM Tiebar Free Molding Machine 100 Ton Milacron Molding Machine Moldflow Shotscope Process Optimization Cell Thermal Wave Molding Optical Media Cell Optical Inspection Equipment Testing Equipment Link to Nypro web site Link to Nissei web site Link to Milacron web site Link to Sumitomo web site Link to Moldflow web site
