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 ...
Extrusion, which can produce complex parts made of lightweight metals, is an increasingly important manufacturing process for everything from buildings to electric vehicles. Pacific Northwest National ...
A presentation at the Leistritz Pharmaceutical-Nutraceutical Extrusion Seminar explained how simulation tools benefit the development process. Twin-screw extruders (TSE) are used in multiple ...
The real power of 3D printing is in infinite customization of parts. This becomes especially powerful when you combine 3D printing with existing materials. I have been developing a few simple tricks ...
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 ...
