The industry isn’t new to the so-called “out-of-autoclave” technologies as a necessary step towards high-volume manufacturing. Unlike other composites processing technologies, compression molding is ...

With platens measuring 5m x 2m and a stamping force of 30,000 kN (3000T), this press is the largest ever designed for thermoplastic composite stamp forming. It is set to play a key role in the ...

Deformation processes transform solid materials from one shape into another. The initial shape is usually simple (e.g., a billet or sheet blank) and is plastically deformed between tools, or dies, to ...

So painting is an "additive" process of creating art. 3D printing is an additive process of manufacturing. That is why it is referred to as additive manufacturing. Material is built up layer by layer ...

Manufacturing has the largest economic multiplier effect of all industries, integrating both ideas and technologies across multiple disciplines, and aiming for the creation of processes and systems ...

In order to improve the forming quality, it is vital to understand the mechanisms that cause the plastic strain localization which eventually leads to ductile damage occurrence in the incremental ...
