SABIC has teamed with Airborne to develop the Digital Composites Manufacturing Line, which rapidly lays up UD thermoplastic tapes into near-net-shape flat laminates (left), then consolidates them in a ...
Blanca Garro did not build her career around the idea of becoming a CEO. Yet today, she leads Reinforce3D, a young Catalan ...
The program included a range of technologies focusing on innovative materials and manufacturing processes, including CF3D® to print the spars, long fiber injection molding for ribs, additively ...
The hybrid-composite rear load floor uses unidirectional (UD) thermoplastic tapes plus direct-long-fiber thermoplastic (D-LFT) composites. Thermoplastic tapes provided high stiffness/strength in a ...
As the composites sector continues to innovate, the integration of cross-industry practices and a strong focus on sustainability signal a future where composite technologies expand beyond traditional ...
3D printing is all well and good for prototyping, and it can even produce useful parts. If you want real strenght in plastics, though, or to produce a LOT of parts, you probably want to step up to ...
There are essentially three widely used technologies for manufacturing plastic products: Injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. Injection molding is the most commonly used process for the ...
