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 ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a vacuum-assisted extrusion method that reduces internal porosity—by up to 75%—in large-scale 3D-printed polymer parts. The paper is ...

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

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 ...

Extrusion is a continuous processing technique in which polymeric materials are conveyed, melted and homogenised as they are forced through a die to form strands, sheets or complex profiles. Key to ...

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 ...

A new study examines how to make multiple FFF printheads build the same part without creating weak seams — a critical step ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
