Texas Injection Molding Uses BobCAD-CAM Software

Recent BobCAD-CAM article features Texas Injection Molding.  Exerpt. . . .“They also run a HURCO VMX50S with a 15k rpm spindle which is one of the machines they use BobCAD-CAM to program parts with. Prior to BobCAD-CAM software, they needed the ability to do 3D surfacing which is almost impossible without a CAD-CAM product. “With the wide range of work we do in the shop we rely on the program being integrated as CAD and CAM in one, low-cost and great customer service”, says Keown.” – Read more

Texas Injection Molding supports HCC New Advanced Manufacturing Center

The Houston manufacturing community just got a big boost from a significant investment by the Houston Community College Advanced Manufacturing Training Center. Equipped with multiple brand new CNC machines, robotics lab, HVAC lab, Welding lab and 3D printing lab, HCC has the resources for students to practice their skills and employers to bring new talent to market. Jeff Applegate serves on the industry advisory board and participated in the grand opening of the HCC Advanced Manufacturing Center.

Texas Injection Molding Builds Technical Center

HURCO VMX 50 S

Following the path to lead with technology and be the very best contract injection molding partner to our customers, we completed a substantial investment in building the Texas Injection Molding Technical Center and Tool Shop.  We believe having a full-service tool shop with capabilities beyond mold repair and mold maintenance to include engineering changes and even complete in-house mold builds is critical to positioning Texas Injection Molding as the “technology leader” in custom injection molding in Texas.  We have recently added Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) capabilities that will allow us to burn precision geometry into a metal mold components.  

We have also added the HURCO VMX50 S CNC machine.  The HURCO VMX is built for performance.  The machining center’s table size of 59″ X 26″ and 3000# capacity provide the capability to provide high precision machining of the larger injection molds serviced by Texas Injection Molding. The UltiMax® 4 Programming Station of the VMX50 applies Hurco’s patented Conversational software to simplify shop floor programming and editing so that machinists can quickly input part parameters, verify that specifications are correct, and begin the machining operations. In addition, the UltiMax® 4 features graphic simulation of the part in two dimensions, invaluable in previewing what has been programmed prior to actual machining. DXF capabilities are also included.

This is an exciting addition to our capabilities and will position the company to be the best partner for custom and contract plastic injection molding in Texas.
