On hot sticky summer days nothing can beat the breeze you feel from a ceiling fan. (Trust me I should know I live in Florida) A ceiling fanâs direction in the summer should be rotating counter clockwise or forward to produce a Wind Chill effect by the downward airflow. The thermostat wonât actually change but the room will seem several degrees cooler due to the wind chill factor.
Reaction injection molding. Reaction injection molding (RIM) is similar to injection molding except thermosetting polymers are used, which requires a curing reaction to occur within the mold. Common items made via RIM include automotive bumpers, air spoilers, and fenders.
Many rapid prototyping processes are great for testing form and fit, but often times there is simply no substitute for testing with the real injection molded parts and material. When your production tooling wonât be ready for months, injection molding is a great way to receive parts quickly and inexpensively. We can use various materials and techniques to create bridge tooling for prototype testing and evaluation. At Schmit Prototypes, our in-house technologies provide complete tool making capability and immediate support for product modifications. Injection molds can be produced in cast steel, aluminum, P-20 or high-grade tool steel.
