How To Guides and Videos CNC Quick Fact Sheet King Plastic’s polymer sheets can be easily fabricated with a CNC machine. Tool manufacturers, such as Onsrud and Vortex, classify King Plastic’s material as ‘soft plastic’ in their catalogs and information. This is important because the geometry of the bit changes given the material it is […]

Thermoforming with a Bending Bar The part to be bent needs to have a 90 degree groove routed in the material, which will form the finished bend location. The groove should be cut to a depth that leaves about 0.100”-.050” of material (more thickness for a rounder corner, less thickness for a sharper corner). Preheat

By Vishu Shah, John Wiley & Sons. Failures arising from hasty material selection are not uncommon in plastics or any other industry. In an application that demands high-impact resistance, a high-impact material must be specified. If the material is to be used outdoors for a long period, an Ultraviolet resistant (UV) material must be specified.

METHODS FOR WELDING HDPE Extrusion welding Extrusion welding allows the application of bigger welds in a single weld pass. It is the preferred technique for joining material over 6 mm thick. Welding rod is drawn into a miniature hand held plastic extruder, plasticized, and forced out of the extruder against the parts being joined, which

TIPS FOR WELDING THERMOPLASTICS From the archives IAPD Welding is the process of uniting surfaces by softening them with heat. When welding thermoplastics, one of the key components is the material itself. For as long as plastic welding has been around many people still do not understand the basics, which is critical to a proper

The Low Cost Alternative to UHMW New and Improved King Hy-Pact® UHMW has been an industry standard for abrasion resistance for many years. However, UHMW is expensive and physical properties diminish over time when exposed to UV. One manufacturer has developed a product called King Hy-Pact®, the super tough industrial polymer sheet that is environmentally
