An advanced manufacturing process to produce nano structured rods and tubes directly from high-performance aluminum alloy powder—in a single step—was recently demonstrated by researchers from the ...

Earlier this year, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington, announced that it took delivery of the second generation of its ShAPE, or Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion, ...

Medical tubing extrusion requires rigorous attention to a number of material and process characteristics. Understanding the importance of these parameters is key to ensuring product quality. Sedigheh ...

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

The hot melt extrusion (HME) process can be employed in the production of a wide range of pharmaceutical dosage forms, including capsules, tablets, lozenges and implants. HME is suitable for both ...

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 ...

Using a novel Solid Phase Processing approach, a research team eliminated several steps that are required during conventional extrusion processing of aluminum alloy powders, while also achieving a ...
