Industry 4.0

Thermotropic Liquid Crystal Polymers (LCPs) have emerged as a high-performance engineering polymer, comparable to PEEK and PEI, for 3D printing in space environments.

Industry 6.0 represents the next evolution in manufacturing, driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous decision-making robots, known as infobots. The progression of injection molding technology and its integration with advanced robotics offer greater efficiency and sustainability.

For tooling digitalization, we already spoke about the basics and application milestones here the final chapter closing loop checking the role of knowledge management across the supply chain.

The tooling digitalization during the whole supply chain is vital for maximizing productivity, improving operational efficiency, and minimizing downtime. But how and with what tools?

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. 

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

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

Researchers in Finland developed a new smart label for intelligent packaging and conducted a life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate its environmental impacts.

Virtual reality is revolutionizing the plastics industry, turning complex challenges into streamlined solutions from design to maintenance.

When selecting the best injection molding machine for your manufacturing needs, several brands stand out for their innovation, quality, and reliability. This article will compare six leading brands.
