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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Choosing appropriate screens for an extrusion process involves striking a balance between filtration needs (removing more contaminants) and overheating. Finer screens get more contaminants out, but ...

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 ...

German ingredient manufacturer Crespel & Deiters has begun running Finnish food-tech company Happy Plant Protein's dry ...

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 ...
