Advancements in medical device technology are having the expected ripple effect on both manufacturing and business for extrusion suppliers. In one key development, suppliers are picking up more ...

In past columns, I've written about measurement of the key process variables in extrusion: Melt temperature, melt pressure and motor load . . . the vital signs. However, I shouldn't assume that all of ...

Material extrusion often has a problem: the 3D printer can appear to be working perfectly while actually building a failed part.

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 ...

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 ...

Metal extrusions are metals or alloys that are extruded into bars, rods, angles, channels, tees, or other profile shapes. Examples of the metals and alloys that can be extruded are aluminum, copper, ...
