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 ...

Redesigned Series 800 delivers precision tubing production for automotive, medical, appliance, and industrial applications.

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 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 ...

You’ve got questions about extrusion, and Allan Griff has the answers. But what he didn’t have during a recent webinar on the key principles of extrusion hosted by PlasticsToday was time. Dozens of ...

The advantages and disadvantages of hot-melt extrusion in solid dispersion formulations. Solid dispersions represent a promising formulation approach for overcoming today's major challenge in ...

Using a proprietary process, Microspec extrudes single- and multilumen bump tubing for minimally invasive applications. The proliferation of minimally invasive procedures has prompted engineers and ...

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 ...
