In 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 […]
VIEW STORYProtecting lives in high-risk environments – on the road, in industrial facilities, or during emergency response – requires more than metal barriers and warning signs. Behind the scenes, molded safety products like impact attenuators, guardrail blocks, and protective equipment cases help reduce injury, prevent accidents, and keep people safer under demanding conditions. At the heart […]
VIEW STORYDeveloping plastic parts for structural applications requires more than a good concept. Performance, manufacturability, and cost must all be addressed early and addressed together. DeKALB Molded Plastics takes an engineering-first approach to help customers bring stronger, more efficient designs to life. From CAD modeling to mold flow analysis and tooling guidance, DeKALB provides targeted engineering […]
VIEW STORYWhen it comes to manufacturing large, complex plastic parts, size and weight limitations often dictate design and production decisions. Traditional molding processes can struggle to balance strength, weight reduction, and cost efficiency, especially for oversized components. That’s where structural foam molding excels. DeKALB Molded Plastics has spent decades perfecting this process to deliver lightweight, rigid, […]
VIEW STORYSecondary operations – machining, fastening, welding, and finishing – can quickly drive up production costs and extend lead times. Every extra step in manufacturing adds labor, increases material waste, and introduces potential quality issues. Molded-in features eliminate these unnecessary operations by integrating critical design elements directly into the part during the molding process. For manufacturers […]
