Large equipment calls for dependable, long-lasting parts that can take a beating. In industries like construction and heavy machinery manufacturing, every component must handle constant vibration, extreme temperatures, and repeated impact while keeping weight and cost under control. Structural foam molding helps achieve that balance, offering the strength of metal with the design freedom and […]
VIEW STORYComplex assemblies often start simple: a design split into multiple components to fit tooling, meet strength requirements, or accommodate secondary features. But over time, those extra parts can add cost, complexity, and weight. Structural foam molding offers a smarter path. By combining multiple parts into one, manufacturers can reduce assembly labor, minimize fasteners, and improve […]
VIEW STORYIn medical manufacturing, reliability is not optional. Every housing, frame, and enclosure must meet precise specifications and perform the same way every time it’s used. Structural foam molding offers a way to create large, complex plastic parts that hold up to demanding conditions. At DeKALB Molded Plastics, we’ve been perfecting the process for decades. Our […]
VIEW STORYNot every plastic part needs to be heavy to be strong. When performance, weight, and cost all matter, structural foam molding offers a smart, proven solution. DeKALB Molded Plastics has spent decades helping manufacturers build large plastic parts that hold up under pressure without adding unnecessary bulk. Read on to see how the structure of […]
VIEW STORYBuilding Sustainability into Large-Part Molding Sustainability matters when you mold big parts. Material choices affect cost, weight, and what ends up in a landfill. At DeKALB Molded Plastics, recycled resin is a practical way to reduce waste and control cost while still meeting performance targets for large, structural parts. Why Recycled Resin Belongs in the […]
VIEW STORYPlastic parts built for demanding environments often require more than structural integrity; they also need to look the part. At DeKALB Molded Plastics, painting is an integral part of our value-added manufacturing approach, designed to help customers achieve both performance and aesthetics in one streamlined process. From visual branding to protective finishes, in-house painting allows […]
VIEW STORYIn the world of plastic manufacturing, dimensional stability is a fundamental requirement for quality. Tolerances matter, especially when plastic parts are integrated into mechanical systems, bear loads, or align with mating components. Structural foam molding stands out as a process that supports consistent geometry and tight tolerances, making it a dependable choice for large, complex, […]
VIEW STORYIndustrial plastic components aren’t getting any simpler. From heavy-duty housings to detailed enclosures, manufacturers are expected to deliver parts that hold up under stress, meet tight cosmetic standards, and support streamlined production timelines. For many of these applications, gas assist molding provides a reliable solution – but it’s the customization behind the process that makes […]
