12 design rules that reduce tooling cost, improve part quality, and shorten development cycles — from the engineers at Texas Injection Molding. Design for Manufacturability

Understanding tooling cost, piece price, and the key factors driving injection molding program economics. Injection molding cost has two distinct components that must be understood

Part design determines everything in injection molding. The shape of the part defines what the mold must do, what the process must achieve, and what

How glass transition temperature defines the upper thermal limit of injection molded plastics — and why it matters for material selection, mold design, and part

What V-0, V-1, V-2, HB, and 5V mean for injection molded plastic parts — and how to specify the right rating for your application. UL

How the overmolding process works, which material combinations bond, and the design rules that determine whether your overmolded part succeeds or fails. Overmolding is an

A practical comparison of plastic manufacturing processes — injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming, rotational molding, extrusion, compression molding, and more — to help you choose

Medical manufacturing is the design, production, assembly, and quality control of products used in healthcare settings. It includes everything from surgical instruments and implantable devices
At Texas Injection Molding, we understand that engineering precision, process consistency, and uptime are non-negotiable. In today’s competitive manufacturing landscape, where technology increasingly separates leading
Texas Injection Molding completed the expansion of it’s new materials warehouse in 2024. Injection molding facilities handle a constant flow of plastic resin, most often
