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 ...

Film casting is a critical industrial process for the production of polymer films used in a wide range of applications, from energy storage membranes to packaging and coatings. Recent advances have ...

3D printers are exact and are a fantastic way to print complicated parts that couldn't be built otherwise. However, sometimes 3D printers make mistakes by extruding too much material, too little, or ...

Polymers are defined as materials consisting of macromolecules that are made up of small, regularly repeating smaller subunits. The coextrusion process is a manufacturing process that uses different ...
