Purging the blow molding machine on the shop floor will ensure efficient performance and a better end product. While there are some differences between standard and custom blow molders, the blow ...

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 ...

Editor?s note: The author, Donald E. De Laney, a consultant in polymer process rheology, worked with GE for 17 years and has worked with Dynisco over the past eight years. The plastics compounding and ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...

Melt viscosity is regarded as a key quality indicator of the polymer melt in polymer extrusion processes. However, limitations such as disturbances to the melt flow and measurement delays of the ...

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