mym 3366 Hello, I am a process / setup technician out of Pennsylvania. There is a huge difference between 3D printing and injection molding. Molding using a injection machine has an advantage of high pressure ability. Clamping, injection, ejection are some of the few pieces of a molding machine that take advantage of high pressure capabilities. Injection molding allows for plastic to be manipulated in various ways by perimeters set in the machine. Injection speeds, metering speeds, clamping speeds are few of the many advantages injection molding carries over 3D printing. While using 3D printing, you can have many variables against you. There is no pressure, just layering or in some cases laser mapped with no pressure. You have a higher fail rate with 3D printing. The amount of defects would be far greater, shorts, splay, non-fill, burns and a few others. The biggest difference would obviously be time. If we had a similar part being made by a 3D printer and a molding machine; assuming processes are set already. The molding machine would mold hundreds maybe thousands to the one part a printer could make. Printers take longer due to the lack of pressure and gravity fed resin but solely relies on plastic bonding by molten plastic being layered. There are massive differences, injection molding beats 3D printing in every aspect. However, sampling or making a tangible part during the engineering stage could find a 3D printer useful. A 3D printer could help save thousands of dollars during the construction phase to see how the product would work and provide customers a part before molding thousands that could be faulty. (Before building a tool a 3D printer could be a game changer). I could continue but I already bounced around enough. Hope maybe this helped you.
3D printing is a additive deposition process wherein you keep adding layers (under heat) but the lower layers have already cooled down. 3D printing is excellent for checking designs and verifying concepts quickly.In Injection moulding entire part is made with plastic injected in molten state into mould wherein when it sets you get a uniform structure which is more stronger than 3D printed objects.
If you're serious about getting a job, you probably should go to their website and actually apply instead... might get a better response than a comment on a video...
Good advice is given in this video as a result of many years of experience in plastic molding. Thank you for posting !
Great video. ASH is at the cutting edge.
Great video guys : )
that´s a dream job.
Thanks for your share.
love the vid
can u inject duroplast?
Hi..its highly appriciated demo but i wonder the difference 3D printer VS molding injection tech?
Please advis

Ash Industries. You have any open positions for Injection Molding Process Technician?

do customers pay for the mold?
yes but you own it forever
@@partgurus can such mold work on any molding machine
