On the right, a vacuum-assisted extrusion is leveraged in large-scale additive manufacturing to reduce porosity in printed parts. The inset image, on the left, is a close-up of the vacuum-assisted ...

A new approach to the 3D printing of chocolate using cold extrusion instead of conventional hot-melt extrusion method eliminates the need for stringent temperature controls, offering wider potential ...

Which pore size is required? The chosen pore size will most likely determine the homogenizer used. A single homogenizer, for example, may produce liposomes as small as 20-30 nm, but any tool with ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...

Packaging of a number of consumer products is done in tubes or bottles wherein product application involves pumping the product through a nozzle. These products are basically shear-thinning products ...

Four Masters students from Bartlett School of Architecture - Francesca Camilleri, Nadia Doukhi, Alvaro Lopez Rodriguez and Roman Strukov - have developed a new method for 3D printing large-scale, self ...
