Metadescription: Discover how modern manufacturing transforms raw materials into high-performance products, with plastic ...

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 ...

Polymer rheology—the study of how polymers flow and deform—is key to achieving consistent quality in manufacturing and 3D printing. From injection molding to extrusion, understanding viscosity, ...

On the right, a vacuum-assisted extrusion is leveraged in large-scale additive manufacturing to reduce porosity in printed parts. The inset image, on the left, is a close-up of the vacuum-assisted ...

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 ...
