Gate placement isn’t just a technical detail—it shapes everything from aesthetics to internal stress, shrinkage control, flow quality, and mold wear.

Seventy percent of FDM energy goes to the heated bed, but adjusting processing parameters can cut this waste in half while maintaining part strength and surface quality.

Some microorganisms can “eat” plastic by using it as a carbon and energy source. These tiny organisms could inspire the recycling methods of tomorrow.

In a recent study published in Polymer Composites, researchers led by Sütcüler et al. unveiled a lab-scale process to manufacture continuous carbon fiber (CCF) filaments using recycled PETG (rPETG).

Michigan State University researchers unveiled novel thermoset epoxies capable of bridging unsupported gaps in sparse infill structures at ANTEC® 2025.

By employing surface engineering techniques, researchers can improve the durability of components made using insert injection molding.

In the evolving world of composite materials, understanding prepreg tack has become essential, as it marks the success of the process.

ANTEC® 2025 research reveals critical insights about when and why carbon fiber reinforcement succeeds or fails in 3D printing.

As demand for sustainable, high-performance insulation materials increases, researchers continue to explore innovative ways to enhance traditional polymers, such as polystyrene (PS).
