Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, pushes conventional limits for manufacturing sensors used for monitoring environmental changes and conditions.

Plastics emit 3% of global CO₂. Aligning the value chain—via recycling, clean tech, and circularity—can cut emissions up to 90% by 2050.

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.

PET Technologies offers insights into the fundamentals of blow molding and how this process continues to evolve.

Inventory management stands at the core of operational excellence in the polymer packaging industry.

Bioplastics often carry a reputation for disrupting recycling systems, yet a recent European Bioplastics study presents a different perspective.

In a presentation at SPE ANTEC® 2025, researchers showed how Meta’s DINOv2 can optimize the detection of injection molding defects.

Solar thermal energy offers a viable way to cut emissions and energy costs in industry if it can affordably meet roto molding’s high heat demands.

For thermoforming manufacturers like Duo Form, reducing production costs and lead times has become essential to staying competitive.

Polymer extrusion wastes a significant amount of energy on inefficiencies. Here is how modern technologies are locking down every lost watt.
