The rotomolding industry is transforming technologically, enabling manufacturers to achieve higher precision, efficiency, and sustainability.

When we hear “recycled,” we often assume that the material originated from previously used products. However, “recycled” is evolving in rotomolding, driven by the need for more sustainable practices, market demand, and regulatory pressures.

Reverse engineering (RE) in plastics processing has become an essential method for product reproduction, improvement, and optimization. It involves a thorough understanding of the design, manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance stages.

In response to the shifting demands of the rotational molding industry, companies are developing pioneering technologies to reduce cycle times and integrate recycled content into advanced materials.

Incorporating recycled rubber as a filler in carbon black for NR/BR/SBR ternary blends offers a sustainable solution for the automotive tire industry, enhancing both performance and environmental impact.

A digital twin includes real-time data and continuous feedback from the physical world. Simulation is typically a static or hypothetical model used for scenario-based analysis.

The injection molding market features diverse companies, each providing tailored solutions to meet specific needs.

Vinyl building materials have been essential in the construction industry. However, the environmental challenges associated with them have prompted an increasing focus on recycling efforts to minimize their impact.

A new line of bactericidal additives incorporating silver nanoparticles promises to keep surfaces clean and disinfected in medical, public, and domestic environments. 

Flash is a common defect in injection molding that can be effectively resolved once its root causes are identified. Below are the primary causes along with their potential solutions.

Some surface defects in injection-molded parts arise from poorly designed components or gates. This article reviews these types of defects and offers possible solutions.

Integrating design, engineering, and sustainability is critical in modern manufacturing, especially large-scale production.
