Plastic is a lot easier to work with than glass, which is one of the reasons it's used so much more often. That may be about to change, though, thanks to a new process that allows glass to be ...

Researchers succeed in producing rapid, cost-effective and environmentally friendly material. Glass is ubiquitous, from high-tech products in the fields of optics, telecommunications, chemistry and ...

Researchers present a new, low-temperature method for injection-molding transparent fused silica glass, similar to how many plastic objects are manufactured. According to the authors, the process ...

Creep is a time dependent deformation process that happens to materials under a certain stress level. However, with proper design and material choices, thermoplastics can be a suitable material for ...

Xometry's expanded materials catalog now supports auto-quoting for glass-filled Nylon, PBT, PC-PBT, PLA, PPE-PS, and PSUXometry's free on-demand ...

Xometry unveils injection molding capabilities with expanded materials, design reviews and streamlined reordering for ...

Machine and process troubleshooting are the most important factors in controlling process and reducing defects. Poorly performing presses lead to process variance and uncontrollable scrap events, and ...

Water-assisted injection molding (WAIM) is a specialised variant of conventional injection molding in which high-pressure water replaces or supplements polymer melt in the core of a part, yielding ...

Glass is ubiquitous, from high-tech products in the fields of optics, telecommunications, chemistry and medicine to everyday objects such as bottles and windows. However, shaping glass is mainly based ...
