EWI is pleased to announce that we have added three new team members at our New York facility, Buffalo Manufacturing Works.

Why Polypropylene Cannot Be Welded with ABS In order for two materials to weld, there are three main requirements. The materials must be chemically compatible (i.e. the polymer chains must be able to form secondary bonds). Some plastics are compatible this way, however it is mostly different types of amorphous plastics that are compatible with...

Additive manufacturing (AM) processes empower manufacturers to build parts that were previously impossible to create using traditional subtractive machining methods. While laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is well-developed and offers high levels of accuracy, it is better-suited to small components. As an alternative, laser directed energy deposition (L-DED) combines a laser and a material feed...
