NPE. ASAP. See CMT: DCPD - DLFT - SMC - LPI - LPI/Web - Lay up - Spray up What does it all mean? Large, durable plastics. TL;DR: CMT is Core Molding Technologies with more ways to make really large, very strong plastic parts. Convert old ways or combine process to get larger, stronger, tougher parts into your assemblies. Come see the samples   Six types of large and ultra-large thermoset and thermoplastic composite molding. DCPD = Reaction Injection for fast and smooth looking parts (dicyclopentadiene to be specific) DLFT = Direct Long-Fiber Thermoplastic for lots of glass evenly dispersed in VERY strong thermoplastic. SMC = Sheet Molded Compound for parts as tough as an 18-wheeler, which is what they go into. LPI = Low Pressure Injection molding for really large parts with high glass loading.   LPI/Web = Low Pressure with smooth surfaces. Lay up/Spray up: Classic fiberglass Where: NPE 2024, Orlando, Booth S16171 located in the south expo hall Level 1  When: May 6-10, 2024 Click here for a free ticket   #theplasticsshow #NPE2024 #manufacturing #innovation #plasticsindustry #networking #sustainability   Npe.org   CUL8R @Booth S16171

Chemical resistance guide for the new LMPAEK™ polymer and VICTREX VICTREX AM™ 200 filament for #additivemanufacturing, to help you understand how this new polymer in the PEEK family behaves next to the traditional #PEEK that you are used to. We will continue to add to this. (#polyetheretherketone, #PEKK)

This new whitepaper on the chemical resistance of LMPAEK polymer is worth a read. Thanks to my colleague Silvia Berretta for completing this study #victrex #lmpaek

The McKinsey report by Jörg Bromberger, et. al. entitled, “The mainstreaming of additive manufacturing,” outlines the limitations that existed in thermoplastic additive manufacturing that were preventing the technology from taking a center stage position in modern industry. These exact points and more have already been addressed in AEIP’s Versatile Thermoplastics Particle Manufacturing (VTPM) and can be considered solved. https://lnkd.in/d_fKhQeU
