Engineering Guides
Injection Molding Explained
New to injection molding or evaluating a supplier?
This guide answers the most common questions engineering and purchasing teams ask about tooling costs, production timelines, materials, and manufacturability.
Aluminum vs Steel Tooling
Is aluminum tooling actually cheaper than steel molds?
The answer depends on part geometry, production volume, and long term manufacturing strategy. Learn when each option makes the most sense.
Industry Insights
Medical Manufacturing
In medical manufacturing, precision is non negotiable.
Components must meet strict tolerances, regulatory requirements, and consistent performance standards. Learn how Titan supports medical engineers with high precision molded plastic components.
Defense Manufacturing
Weight reduction is becoming a major engineering priority across defense systems.
See how high performance polymers are replacing metal in UAVs, soldier equipment, and vehicle electronics without sacrificing strength or reliability.
Design Tips
CAD Draft Angles
Applying draft to a CAD model too early can quietly increase tooling costs and compromise design intent.
Learn why draft should be evaluated with your mold manufacturer, not assumed during early design.
