Equipment

E-beam technology enhances polymers with wear resistance, fatigue strength, and integrated sterilization, redefining medical implants and devices.

Whether it’s being used in a university laboratory or a brand owner technical center, the right equipment makes all the difference in executing effective research on materials and processing. And, in the case of academia, the equipment materials engineering students master can have a significant impact on their immediate career prospects.

A new generation of conductive plastics allows engineers to print sensors directly onto flexible, skin-like materials, paving the way for a new era of personalized health.

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.
