Additive manufacturing (AM) is emerging as a popular method in the research and development of electronics that use conductive polymers.

Researchers are using machine learning (ML) to unlock the potential of an alternative welding technique for joining wood-plastic composites (WPCs).

Radia’s WindRunner, the world’s largest aircraft, advances with Collier Aerospace’s engineering tools for faster, lighter, and certifiable structural design.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) is replacing metal in many aerospace applications, and controlling internal stresses is necessary for performance.

Voxel-scale multi-material jetting lets engineers design polymer composites with tunable stiffness, strength, and toughness directly through digital control.

Laser texturing transforms molds from decorative tools into functional interfaces that improve polymer flow, release, durability, and sustainability.

Learn to read material datasheets—MFI, rheology, HDT, modulus, shrinkage and CTE—to cut injection molding cycle time and avoid warpage and rework.

Understanding the complex relationships between fibers, melt flow, and microstructure characteristics can help leverage the benefits of this high-performance material.

eVTOL aircraft are a significant step forward for urban mobility, but their success hinges on a critical challenge: weight reduction. Advanced polymers and composites are the materials making this possible.

Lightweight, durable, and increasingly indispensable, plastics are reshaping the aerospace industry and driving a market projected to nearly double by 2030.
