The scalable production process seamlessly combines performance, integrated noise reduction, and sustainability.

AI optimizes injection molding beyond human understanding, creating new challenges for process control and failure recovery.

High strength, dimensional stability and fit accuracy coupled with low weight are the hallmarks of large-format composite components produced using the Long Fiber Injection (LFI) process from ...

Injection molding is a critical manufacturing process, and has been so for a long time. It still has room to improve in several areas however, and “smart” injection molding equipment is gaining ...

Autoclave curing has long been the "gold standard" for aerospace composite parts. Very few processes can match the consistent part quality and high fiber volume of prepreg laminates cured in an ...

The new composites are designed as alternatives to thermoset sheet molding compounds (SMCs). Offering similar mechanical performance, they are much more ductile and, as thermoplastic systems, much ...

ENGEL will demonstrate how thermoplastic composite rotor blades for drones can be manufactured efficiently, with consistent quality and fully automated in series production. The globally active ...

If you’re interested in learning more about whether 3D printers can be used for injection molding. You might be interested in a series of tests carried out by the CNC Kitchen to explore the ...
