#injection molding usually is because you need a dedicated mold for each design and there's generally a minimum order quantity

[ladytemeraire]

So I have fully jumped on the claw clip bandwagon, in large part because they are less damaging to my hair than elastics and also because they actually hold my fine-with-lots-of-curly-body hair very securely, especially if I want to put the full length up

(Also as a 90's kid there is also no small amount of nostalgia tied to them, hello tiny rainbow butterfly clips)

However, in my hunt for fun and whimsical designs, I have found plenty of cottagecore-esque plant designs as well as some animals, but have noticed a near total lack of Western/winged dragon claw clips (as well as my own more niche interests like ravens and German Shepherds and maybe a feather/quill pen).

...I'm gonna have to break out the modeling software and find a 3D printer to rectify this, aren't I.

Auminum Injection Mold is a manufacturing process that involves injecting molten aluminum into a mold cavity to produce a specific part or product. It is a popular manufacturing method for producing small to medium-sized parts with high precision and accuracy.

The process involves melting the aluminum material and injecting it into the mold cavity under high pressure. The molten aluminum fills the cavity and takes the shape of the mold, which is usually made of steel or other durable materials. The aluminum then cools and solidifies, after which the mold is opened, and the part is removed.

The advantages of aluminum injection molding include its ability to produce complex parts with tight tolerances, excellent surface finishes, and high production rates. It is also a cost-effective alternative to other manufacturing methods like CNC machining or die casting.

Some common applications of aluminum injection molding include producing parts for the automotive industry, electronics, and consumer goods.

5 coolest features of the Ferrari Portofino

Faster, more comfortable, smoother and more efficient—Ferrari’s new Portofino hasn’t changed much in concept, but it’s better than the California T in just about every way. This is Ferrari’s most important car for key reasons, starting with the revenue stream, and it’s an obvious indicator how the little company in Maranello (and maybe its audience) has changed the last 25 years.

The important things are still here, of course: impressive power-to-weight ratio, crazy-high specific output, studied aerodynamics, Italian design and flair. There are new pieces of technology, too, though they aren’t always visible to the naked eye.

Herewith, five of the more interesting tech bits in the newest Ferrari. It isn’t clear if any will close an extra Portofino sale, but all of them caught our attention.

Passenger Video Display

Display screens of varying technologies are everywhere in cars these days, and more often than not they're of the haptic-touch variety. The guiding principle for automotive designers seems to be that bigger screens are better. The Portofino also gets one, much bigger than that in the car it replaces, and it can be split to show two different views or data sets. As hard as it might be for old-school Ferrari geeks to wrap their minds around split touch-screens and 3D maps, the Portofino’s primary screen isn’t likely to get more than a passing mention in the typical drive review.

What pops more forcefully is a second touch screen, and something we haven’t seen elsewhere--an elongated, 8.8 inch LCD directly in front of the front passenger, hidden above the Portofino’s glove box in the space where you might expect a trim strip. This screen allows the passenger to display a separate data set, from performance meters like road speed and RPM to nav prompts to entertainment choices, independent of what’s in front of the driver or on the bigger screen in the center stack.

So now your passenger can manipulate the audio while you keep the full map on the main screen, or read you directions or make fun of your short shifts. What you cannot do is fib about how fast you’re going, assuming your partner won't know better without craning over your shoulder.

Those narrow slits next to the Portofino's headlights (inset) force air into the wheel wells, then out of the vents on the front fenders

Front Fender Vents

Slits, lips or lumps in Ferrari sheetmetal aren’t usually simple adornment, but the vents or channels pressed into the Portofino’s front fenders form part of a particularly clever, aesthetically interesting aero solution. Working in conjunction with a thin port outboard of each headlight assembly, the vents deliver a couple of significant benefits.

First, they dramatically improve front brake cooling, and they do it without adding drag. High-velocity air channeled through the headlight slits flows through the wheel well, over the brake discs and out the vent in the fender.

Indeed, the slit/vent combo actually reduces drag considerably, because it flushes out the extra-turbulent air that tends to collect around the wheel wells in a more predictable fashion. That air flows out as a denser “air curtain” from the wheel-well vents rearward, close to the Portofino’s flanks, according to Ferrari engineers. It’s one of the bigger contributors to a 6 percent reduction in drag, compared to the California T.

Cast-in Turbo Cases

The Portofino’s exhaust headers are now sand-cast as a single part with the turbo housing, rather than welded up from separate pieces. What’s the big deal with that? Where to start?

Yes, we are starting to see exhaust manifolds that are cast into, rather than bolted to, the cylinder head, on cars more pedestrian than the Portofino, and we’ve seen a more rudimentary example of what Ferrari has done with its turbocharged V8s. That came from Hyundai when it launched its 2.0-liter direct-injection turbo four in the Sonata in 2010. But it came only after Hyundai (one of the world’s largest, best endowed manufacturers) spent years developing a patented process to manufacture the single-piece manifold/ turbine case, and then had to look long and hard for a supplier who could actually manufacture it. And Hyundai’s single casting is a more conventional, pitchfork-style manifold.

This is more complicated. For starters, Ferrari wants exhaust headers that are precisely equal in length, feeding two separate scrolls on the turbo turbine with staggered cylinders to keep exhaust pulses precisely even. That minimizes turbo lag and promotes Ferrari-suitable engine sounds, but it also leaves a manifold that looks like snakes swarming around the turbine case.

If you cast this complicated form, you’ll need multiple mold pieces, inside and out, and all of these individual, resin-impregnated sand molds must be structurally bound to each other and stable enough to withstand the pressure of casting force. The interior mold pieces have to deliver the precise path and flow dynamics you require for turbo performance, but you also have to get them out when the part is finished. Then you have to flow your alloy to ensure uniform, bubble-free thickness.

Sound complicated? Remember: A company Ferrari’s size is doing this with a relative handful of engineers, miniscule compare to the number at Hyundai’s disposal, and then casting the manifold/cases at the same Maranello foundry that casts F1 engine blocks.

So the one-piece header/turbine case is pretty cool. The payoff for Ferrari might be twofold. First, the single casting might ultimately represent a cost reduction, once the development and capital costs are amortized over a lot of parts. At Ferrari volume, that could take a while. More to the point, they’re left with a turbo that more effectively harvests exhaust gas flow to more quickly compress intake air for the engine. See the chart above for a representation of the Portofino cast header/case’s improvement on the welded California T version.

  Pink is the California T (plastic) and blue is the Portofino (aluminum). Blue is better

Aluminum Undertrays

Undertrays on the bottom of production cars are nothing new, and they’ve trickled down in some fashion to some of the least expensive cars you can buy. Yet even in expensive cars with expansive undertrays, these drag-limiting devices tend to be molded from plastic or a light composite. The undertrays in the Portofino are stamped from aluminum and attached with bolts rather than Dzus-type fasteners or something else.

They’re not intended as giant skid plates, though they probably do add some protection in that context. The Portofino’s aluminum undertrays actually provide structural framing that plastic could not. That allowed Ferrari engineers to remove mass elsewhere in the Portofino’s frame with lighter extrusions or castings. In short, the heavier aluminum undertrays were crucial to lightening the Portofino’s frame 70 pounds compared to the California T, while still delivering a 35 percent increase in static torsional rigidity.

The really woke thing here isn't visible to the naked eye

Magnesium Seat Frames

We’ve seen magnesium in post-war automotive applications since at least the 1950s, from racing wheels to transaxle cases in the low and mighty Volkswagen Beetle. Magnesium alloys have made a bit of a comeback through the 2000s, thanks partly to fabrication advances and usually in higher-end cars via a brace here or a case there. Yet with rare exceptions (like the Beetle), there’s usually a cheaper way to do it.

With a 35 percent weight advantage on aluminum, the appeal of magnesium remains, but the cost still gets in the way. Raw materials run about 80 percent higher than aluminum, and it gets worse when you start fabricating—a bit worse if you’re casting, compared to aluminum, and a lot worse if you’re extruding. Metallurgists say that every pound you save with magnesium is going to cost an extra $4 minimum, and maybe twice that depending on where you’re doing the saving.

So where did Ferrari introduce magnesium alloy into the Portofino? In those sexy, attention-grabbing seat frames, of course. Engineers say they’ve trimmed 53 pounds from the Portofino’s interior components, compared to the Ferrari California T, and we can be fairly certain that the biggest chunk of those 53 pounds came out of the seats. The magnesium frames also allow much thinner seat backs, and helped increase knee room in back of the Portofino two inches compared to the California T.

The cost of a magnesium upgrade might be easier to absorb in a $220,000 car, yes, but we appreciate Ferrari’s dedication to mass reduction nonetheless.

All Rhino Male Enhancement Pills Review & Discussion

Full first hand discussion of all the Rhino pills, 2 full years of experience.

Stamina + Size + Time… Is it legit? Here is the answer.

This is not a paid promotion, I’m just a fan, wish I could get paid though lol.

Male enhancement products are some of the most commonly reviewed products online today. Almost all of the major review sites online have a section dedicated solely to these products. All it takes is a simple search to turn up pages upon pages of these reviews.

There are a number of reasons for this. Of course, in some cases the reviews that you fond will simply be written by those who are trying to sell the products themselves. However, there are the other reviews out there that are actually written by real, honest consumers who want to either warn people about an ineffective product or want to let others know that they have found something that actually works.

The challenge is to determine which reviews are written by actual consumers, and which ones have been written by people who have a financial interest in the success of the product. Once you begin to browse through all of the reviews, you will start to be able to tell which ones are written by real people. It’s actually a very good thing that these review sites are out there, because there really are some products that have been manufactured simply to make money, with no real concern as to whether or not they are actually going to be effective for the consumer. This is something that commonly occurs when a product is in high demand.

Dealing with sexual performance issues is already challenging enough. The last thing that you should have to deal with is people trying to scam you out of your money. This is a serious issue that should be addressed in a professional manner, but unfortunately there are scammers out there who just see the demand as an opportunity to make a buck. Luckily, once you have taken the time necessary to really look into the product reviews, you will be able to decipher the fakes from the real contenders. No one has money to throw out the window on ineffective products, so any time that you spend researching something before you buy it will be time well spent.

It used to be that in order to get help with sexual performance issues, you had to go visit a doctor and talk explicitly about your problem. This is why most men avoided seeking help in the first place. It is uncomfortable to talk about this issue with others. However, now that there is an increasing amount of natural male enhancement products available, men are able to get the help that they need by ordering products online without a prescription. This is an exceptional breakthrough, because now you can order the products that you need from the comfort of your own home, in complete and total privacy. Even the packaging that the companies use to send you their products is almost always going to be discreet, so you can comfortably purchase these products without having to worry about anyone finding out.

There is a huge amount of men who are looking for the most effective male enhancement products, so you should never feel like you are alone. This is a perfectly common problem, and the solution can easily be found online when you put forth the necessary effort to research the products before you buy them.

Next, learn more about Male Enhancement products and the added nutritional benefits they supply. You won’t get the same experience with other brands! There are numerous testimonials and customer reviews online; so choose wisely before you buy any Male Enhancement product.
