A coupled extrusion and in-situ UV curing method enables high-precision polymer-derived ceramic 3D printing with fewer ...

Changes such as the transition from crystalline to amorphous phases or shifts in vibrational modes can be used to customize the end-polymer's mechanical, thermal, and optical properties to specific ...

Extrusion using a gear pump is useful in production processes where temperatures must remain low, for example in the automotive industry to produce car tires. At too high temperatures, material ...

Reactive processing in polymer extrusion harnesses the extruder as a continuous reactor, enabling in situ chemical modification of polymers while they are conveyed and melted. By integrating ...

It all began with a show-stopping demonstration that wowed audiences in the manufacturing world. It was at the International Manufacturing Technology Show in 2014 when the three-dimensional printing ...

Researchers propose a novel process paradigm of photopolymerization-extrusion coupled molding targeting the 3D printing of ...

While countless tubes are extruded or injection molded each year, these manufacturing techniques are neither the most optimal nor the most cost-effective methods available to medical device ...

With its diverse portfolio of polymer testing and sensing equipment, Dynisco is bringing rheology to the masses. Rheology is the investigation of the ­flow and deformation behavior of materials when ...

Increasingly smaller medical devices require tighter tolerances that make extrusion process control more difficult. Photos courtesy of TEEL PLASTICS INC. As medical devices get smaller and tolerances ...

Angel investors understand the high stakes of funding new technologies. The journey is fraught with financial, technical and market risks—but when a groundbreaking well-designed innovation meets the ...
