Medical Welding: Techniques for Stronger, Safer Devices

Medical welding joins metal parts used in healthcare devices. It is very different from regular welding. The parts are smaller, and the demands are much stricter. The goal is to create strong, clean, and reliable joints. These joints must handle sterilization and, in many cases, direct contact with the human body.

CNC Turning

Types of Turning Operations: How to Pick the Right One

The best turning operation depends on your part’s shape, the surface finish you need, and the production volume. Rough turning removes a lot of material quickly. Finishing turning makes the surface smooth. Taper turning, contour turning, and threading create specific shapes. Boring and grooving handle internal and external cuts. Each type has a clear purpose.

Manual Milling: Techniques, Tools, and Applications

Manual milling is the process of shaping a workpiece with a milling machine operated by hand. The machine uses a rotating cutter to remove material and form flat surfaces, slots, holes, or more complex shapes. Unlike CNC milling, which follows computer programs, manual milling relies on the machinist’s skill and adjustments.

Difference Between Mold and Die

Understanding the Difference Between Mold and Die

A mold mainly shapes molten or soft materials into a set form. Common examples include injection molding and casting. A die, in contrast, is used to cut, stamp, or shape sheet metal accurately. Both tools help create products efficiently, but work with different materials and methods.

The Rubber Injection Molding Workflow

Rubber Injection Molding: Process, Applications, and Benefits

Rubber injection molding is a process that uses heat and pressure to shape rubber into finished parts. It starts with raw rubber, usually in strips or pellets. These are fed into an injection unit where they are heated until soft and pliable. Once ready, the rubber is injected into a closed mold under high pressure. The mold cavity is shaped to match the final part.
