In episode 293 of China Manufacturing Decoded, Adrian is joined by Sofeast’s Head of New Product Development, Paul Adams, for the final part of their trilogy on polymers.

When people think of plastics, they usually picture injection molding. But it’s far from the only available process. We'll break down the major polymer processing methods, including injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding, thermoforming, rotational moulding, and additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing).

They explain:

Why your product’s geometry may rule out certain methods

The strengths and weaknesses of each process

Typical products made using each technique

How process choice impacts cost, speed, surface finish, and performance

This conversation will help you match the right process to your product and avoid costly mistakes.
