Heat treatment processes involve precise heating and cooling procedures to change the physical and mechanical properties of metals. Generally, to alter undesirable properties and strengthen desirable ones. One such heat treatment process is annealing, which allows us to modify the mechanical characteristics of certain metals and alloys to better match their intended use.

It’s hard to believe that 3D printing has only been around since the 1980s. This technique, also called additive manufacturing, has proved so immensely useful that it’s evolving very quickly. The process was originally devised to make prototypes for one-off or small-batch parts. Materials were added progressively to build up a solid object, based on 3D digital models. It was much more cost-efficient than cutting source materials down, as no waste was apparently produced.
As electronics become smaller and more powerful, heat dissipation has become a major concern.

Injection molding is an invaluable process for creating plastic parts. This process is fast, cheap, and helps create vast volumes of identical objects. One of the most significant advantages of injection molding is the natural surface finish of molded parts. Even without any injection molding surface finish or post-processing treatment, molded parts have smooth surface finishes suitable for many end uses.
