PowerStream Technology is in the business of
helping other companies develop products. To support this vision we have set up
a plastic injection molding operation with seven presses.
We offer
boutique services for small runs and special plastics. We also offer large
production services.
We have experience with many resins, including ABS,
Polyethylene Nylon, Delrin and Polypropylene. We also specialize in TPE
(theromoplastic elastomers) such as Kraton , which are a range of
injectable soft plastics similar to silcone rubber.
We now have the
technology to machine-in textures.
We have seven injection molding presses. Three
horizontal Toshibas, one horizontal Boy, one vertical Morgan, and two vertical
Boys.
Our injection molding staff has many years of
experience in many different types of injection molding including insert
molding, cable and connector molding, and overmolding.
This is our new Doosan mill cutting chips in nano-smoothing mode
with the arbor running at 20,000 RPM. It is impossible to know if it actually
cutting metal until the end of the run when the cooling jets turn off.
New! 3-D printed molds
This part is a star that fits onto Christmas tree lights.
Two identical pieces snap onto each other to form the star. The snaps are too
fragile to be made with 3-D printing, but the molded parts work perfectly. We
have made over 1000 parts with this mold in polyethelyne without any noticable
degradation of the mold.
Because of the low thermal conductivity of the
SLA material it takes a minute cool-down between shots, so it isn't suitable
for low-cost production.
The parts show the stepped digitization of the SLA printing
process, but adequately show that the parts work as designed, and has produced
a fully functional part using injection molded polymer that cannot be 3-D
printed.
Black stars for stealth Christmas Tree lights.
