Figure 1. Pressurized nitrogen gas is injected into a melt to penetrate the part via a network of thicker cross-sectioned gas channels (click to enlarge). Gas-assist injection molding was developed ...

For at least a decade, gas-assisted injection molding (GAIM) processes have been used successfully to form hollow, tubular products, such as appliance handles, using fiber-reinforced thermoplastics.

Known for producing hollow parts, gas-assist techniques can overcome many of the limitations of conventional injection molding. The first patents for gasassist injection molding came in the early ...

Gain Technology displayed an automotive IP core half that used its GAIM systems to economically reduce the use of expensive hot-runner manifolding in the tooling for the part. Fluid-assist injection ...

Robert Joyce says gas-assisted molding is the best way to solve tough challenges of injection molding wood-plastic composite balluster spindles - the long pieces that run down vertically to support a ...

Metal injection molding is made from several different metals and requires atomization technology. The powder is made up of both metals and a plastic binding agent. This is used to make the ...

James Hendry is considered the father of gas-assisted injection molding, a major technological advance, but one plagued by nasty legal battles. Hendry started developing the principles of gas-assisted ...
