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 ...

Founded in 2018, German startup Glassomer GmbH specializes in the manufacture of injection-moldable quartz glass and glass parts. Glassomer has developed plastic-glass blends in pelletized form that ...

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 ...

The powder injection moulding (PIM) process is an efficient method for the high volume production of shaped components from powders. PIM is a derivative of polymer injection moulding and uses much of ...

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 ...
