Plastic enclosure manufacturers can use rotational molding or injection molding to produce housings. Learn why rotomolding is better. bit.ly/3VVgvyB #rotomolding #injectionmolding #plastics #manufacturing

Reinforcing ribs for rotomolded parts help keep nominal wall thickness to a minimum. That’s important because thicker walls in plastic parts can increase cycle times and add material costs. bit.ly/3pG35ep #rotomolding #rotomolder #rotationalmolding #designtips

Four of the most common rotational molding materials are LLDPE, HDPE, PP, and static-dissipative PE. Each has different properties, so what's the right choice for your project? bit.ly/3PIRJRK #rotomolding #rotomolder #rotationalmolding #plastics

Looking for plastic molding with lower tooling costs and greater value? Try rotational molding instead of injection molding and work with Gregstrom. bit.ly/3LIWHLQ #rotomolding #rotomolder #rotationalmolding #designtips

A kiss-off in rotational molding is a solid, reinforcing structure that transmits a load from one nominal wall to another. Learn more from Gregstrom. bit.ly/3Wu7ugo #rotomolding #rotomolder #rotationalmolding #designtips

Rotational molding can use molded-in inserts that support the use of hardware such as hinges, fasteners, and handles for strong, lightweight plastic parts. bit.ly/44KU9Fd #rotomolding #rotomolder #rotationalmolding #designtips

These rotational molding design tips cover wall thickness, draft angles, ribs and bosses, corners and edges, and undercuts. bit.ly/44Kav0G #rotomolding #rotomolder #rotationalmolding #designtips

Beer coolers can do more than keep beverages ice cold. They can also function as point-of-purchase (POP) displays that capture consumer attention. bit.ly/4kFuWSC #rotomolding #rotomolder #rotationalmolding #beercooler

Automated trimming for rotomolded parts improves consistency and efficiency while reducing labor costs and scrap rates. Choose either CNC trimming or robotic routing. bit.ly/3JGxn7I #rotomolding #rotomolder #rotationalmolding #trimming

This rotational molding Q&A contains answers to key questions about draft angles, an important design consideration for plastic parts. bit.ly/3zdehjw #rotomolding #rotomolder #rotationalmolding #designtips

Does your design float? Gregstrom makes rotomolded boats and can provide you with design for manufacturing (DFM) assistance. bit.ly/3Iau4nm #rotomolding #rotomolder #boats #plasticsmanufacturing

Thinking about reshoring? Made in USA rotational molding from Gregstrom can help you to reduce risks, control costs, and get more value from your supply chain. bit.ly/3pxqsqE #rotomolding #reshoring #madeinusa #madeinamerica

Rotomolded parts can be filled with polyurethane foam for additional rigidity and to provide insulation in the walls of enclosures. 💪bit.ly/4ekkTkt #rotomolding #foamfilling #medical #enclosures

Rotational molding is used to produce plastic boats ranging from kayaks and canoes to personal watercraft and flat-bottom fishing boats. 🚣bit.ly/3FNaZuK #rotationalmolding #boats #kayaks #canoes

Draft angles support part removal and minimize stress and warpage. 🟢They also support quicker cooling for faster cycle times and lower production costs. 💸bit.ly/44esai3 #partdesign #plastics #rotationalmolding #rotomolding

Looking for lightweighting? 🪶Rotomolded parts are replacing cast or machined metal components in many industrial applications. Examples include plastic manifolds, mufflers, and tanks. 👏bit.ly/4dVV7T6 #lightweighting #manifolds #mufflers #tanks

Rotational molding and injection molding can both produce enclosures. 🗳️Rotomolding uses lower-cost tooling and can create shapes and features that other plastics processes can't match. ⚙️bit.ly/4jLg1pm #rotationalmolding #injectionmolding #enclosures #plastics

Six-axis robotic routing for rotomolded parts cuts thick sheets cleanly and can handle 3D parts. 🤖It can also process more parts per hour than CNC equipment. ✔️ bit.ly/4l8AMwy #roboticrouting #partsfinishing #rotationalmolding #rotomolding

Five-axis CNC routing for rotomolded parts supports complex designs and smooth surface finishes. 💡It also produces compound radii on plastic surfaces. 👍bit.ly/4l8AMwy #cncrouting #partsfinishing #rotationalmolding #rotomolding

Uniform wall thicknesses are easier to achieve with rotational molding than other plastics processes. ✅The molds are less expensive, too. bit.ly/3ZfMaeK #rotationalmolding #blowmolding #injectionmolding
