Clear plastic parts made from various types of plastic resins, such as acrylic, polycarbonate, ABS, or PE, can be used for a wide range of applications, including viewscreens, light pipes, cases, covers, and other household items that require some level of transparency. However, even though these plastic resins are designed to be clear, they may have surface imperfections or roughness that can affect their optical properties and clarity. So we need to find an additional surface finishing process to improve the su......

Inconsistent quality, unstable performance, and extended production timelines caused by subpar supplier performance while creating plastic injection molded parts can be extremely costly for product developers. Here are 5 warning signs to look out for if you wish to stay clear of this situationWhen done right, plastic injection molding is the most efficient and cost-effective method for producing large quantities of finished plastic parts at relatively low cost. But achieving great performance depends on carefully......
