Design and Development of Extruder for Plastic Wastes
Abstract: Plastic waste has become one of the most significant environmental challenges due to its widespread use, non-biodegradable nature, and increasing accumulation in landfills and water bodies. The rapid growth in plastic consumption has created an urgent need for effective recycling technologies that can reduce environmental pollution while recovering valuable materials. Among the various recycling techniques, extrusion is considered an efficient and economical method for converting plastic waste into reusable products. …

From Prototype to Production: A Review of Industrial Applications for 3D Printing in Aerospace, Automotive, Biomedical, and Electronics
Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) or Additive Manufacturing has made remarkable progress from rapid prototyping to large-scale production. Several industries like aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and electronics utilise AM technology for product personalisation, minimising waste material, reducing the cycle time of product design, and designing complex shapes that are difficult to manufacture using traditional techniques like subtractive manufacturing. This paper evaluates the evolution of 3D printing technology from prototyping to industrial production. In addition, …

Thermo-Mechanical Behavior and Intelligent Optimization of Contact Temperature During Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Single-Pole Magnetic Abrasive Finishing of Zinc Alloy
Abstract: This study proposes a new integration of the experimental analysis, multi-physics finite element modelling (FEM) and machine learning (ML) optimisation of contact temperature (CT) in ultrasonic vibration-assisted single pole magnetic abrasive finishing (UV-SPMAF) of zinc alloy. The three gaps of the research are addressed: (i) The absence of a multi-physics FEM model that can couple electromagnetic, thermal and structural fields for UV-SPMAF of zinc; (ii) No quantified contribution of the …
