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 ...

Injection molder Fosta-Tek Optics (Leominster, MA) is claiming a first for its process for molding precision military optics that match the accuracy and quality of glass optics machined via diamond ...

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 ...

A team of researchers from the University of Freiburg, together with materials startup Glassomer, have developed a new polymer-based silica glass material compatible with injection molding technology.

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 ...

Glass is one of humanity’s oldest materials, and it is still used widely for everything from drinking vessels and packaging to optics and communications. Unfortunately, the methods for working with ...

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 ...

Glass is ubiquitous in high-tech products in the fields of optics, telecommunications, chemistry and medicine, and in everyday objects such as bottles and windows. However, shaping glass is mainly ...

Injection molding is cool. Well hot actually, but dad jokes aside it’s a pretty simple process in theory, but requires specific tooling and equipment, plus real experience, to create OE level parts ...

Once upon a time, glass-mat thermoplastic (GMT) composites were nearly the only option for engineers searching for increased stiffness, strength, and toughness in a polymeric material with a ...

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 ...
