The Plazology team and OGM analysed the performance of mould inserts using the Moldex3D simulation system, then verified its findings with physical mould trials using their in-house Krauss Maffei 1200KN Electric moulding machine.
Regular and Conformal cooling: a side by side comparison Read More »
The outbreak of the human coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has strained the supply chains for injection moulded parts significantly. As a result, the need for exceptional standards of quality control has never been greater; the key to the consistent production of high-quality plastic injection moulded parts is the way in which the polymer is cooled after it has filled the mould cavity. High injection moulding reject rates The uneven cooling of injection
Keeping your cool: create quality plastic injection moulded parts Read More »
There are many 3D printing companies, few have expertise in the design and production of mould tool, or specialised knowledge – that’s where we step in.
Fast production of injection mould tool inserts Read More »
The goal of every plastic injection moulding company is to run their machines at maximum capacity 24/7 to produce as many parts as possible in a short time while maintaining the highest levels of quality.

Metal additive manufacturing is the archetypal digital manufacturing technology. When additive techniques first became commercially available, proponents claimed that they would fundamentally change the way manufacturing is done. By removing the need for traditional moulds and tools, they argued, 3D printing would replace many older manufacturing techniques. That revolution has yet to happen. Additive manufacturing
Metal additive manufacturing turns up the volume Read More »
A new solution to improve part quality and cycle rates One of the challenges when manufacturing injection mould tools is how best to incorporate channels that allow even and effective cooling of the tool, to ensure that part quality while reducing cycle times.

Speed is of the essence in the production of injection moulded components. Manufacturers need to get their designs from concept to production as quickly as possible. Moulders also need to achieve the shortest possible part production cycle times to maximise productivity and keep unit costs down. The manufacture of mould tools suitable for the high-volume
Hybrid additive manufacturing speeds production Read More »
A revolution in toolmaking technology is driving up the quality and speed of manufacture of injection mould tools that produce plastic parts. At the heart of this revolution is the way additive and subtractive equipment work together in an integrated process. Mould tools incorporate cooling channels to prevent distortion in the moulds they form. These
