Extrusion is a process widely used in the polymer processing industry. It involves pushing material through a die with a specific cross-sectional shape, resulting in products like profiles, thin ...

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 ...

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 ...

Material extrusion often has a problem: the 3D printer can appear to be working perfectly while actually building a failed part.

Polyfuze Graphics has introduced a technology that “fuses” permanent labels into the plastic during the extrusion process, eliminating the risk of peeling or detachment. The innovation offers ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dublin, Jan. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Polymer Extrusion 3D Printing Markets 2025-2034: Analysis and Forecast in the Age of Low-Cost Upstarts" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a vacuum-assisted extrusion method that reduces internal porosity -- by up to 75% -- in large-scale 3D-printed polymer parts. Large-scale additive manufacturing has been ...
