Since 2013, iMFLUX has developed adaptive low-constant-pressure injection-molding technology that helps manufacturers run plastic injection machines more reliably with fewer operator adjustments. Its system combines closed-loop feedback software with molding hardware to adapt in real time across machines, molds, and materials, including recycled and bio-derived resins. The company’s approach is aimed at autonomous molding while reducing energy use, wear, waste, and part weight.
