Multisensor data fusion in dimensional metrology is used in order to get holistic, more
accurate and reliable information about a workpiece based on several or multiple …

Rapid tooling (RT) and additive manufacturing (AM) are currently being used in several
parts of industry, particularly in the development of new products. The demand for timely …

Rapid heat cycle molding (RHCM) can eliminate the weld line, increase flow length, and
improve surface quality of the molded parts. However, the cycle time is much longer as …

The joining of metal and polymer surfaces is a promising technology to reduce the total
weight of parts and to improve interface reliability. In this study, a micro square grid (200 …

Functional surfaces with attractive properties, such as superhydrophobicity and
omniphobicity often rely on the synergy between intrinsic material properties and dual scale …

Micro-injection moulding (micro-moulding) is a process which enables the mass production
of polymer micro-products. In order to produce high-quality injection moulded micro-parts, a …

In micro injection molding, the specific cavity surface texture and roughness directly
influence the polymer flow and the heat transfer between polymer melt and mold. In this …

Weld line problem which occurs in polymer parts produced by plastic injection method and
affects appearance and strength on a large scale was researched in this paper. The three …

High-frequency induction is an efficient way to heat mold surface by non-contact
electromagnetic induction. It has been recently applied to injection molding because of its …

To increase the flow path length in the mould for thin-walled packaging applications or thick-
walled technical components with long flow paths, a mould surface machined by electrical …
