Process

Tooling digitalization can be the solution for today’s manufacturing systems, where the tool failures can cause as much as 20% downtime, leading to significant productivity and profit losses. 

As sustainability becomes a global priority, biopolymers derived from bacteria are emerging as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional oil-based plastics.

Understanding how the process’s nature may induce deviations from the part design is crucial to meeting quality requirements in any molding project.

LOWPOLY repurposes spent coffee grounds (SCGs) into functional furniture through large-format 3D printing.

Fatigue failure prediction methods of elastomers help estimate product service life and play a critical role in preventing catastrophic failures.

Manufacturers increasingly use lightweight yet durable plastics to replace metals, with new applications emerging regularly.

Look for opportunities to shorten each step of the molding cycle. To understand these opportunities, learn how the material behaves inside the mold.

The rotomolding industry thrives on creativity, innovation, and continuous improvement, offering young professionals immense opportunities.

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

Researchers from New Zealand developed a method to transform commercial-grade silicone into a repairable vitrimer by incorporating elemental sulfur.

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.
