It is not only the largest-tonnage machine installed in China, but also could meet the customer requirements in molding process relying on its advanced technologies, such as precision control technology or thick-wall injection molding technology for large transparent parts. ELIX Polymers, a global leader in thermoplastics manufacturing, has collaborated with Repsol and Leitat on a sociotechnological project with Ayúdame3D, a Spanish social startup that promotes the social value of technology through awareness-raising programmes to help people with disabilities. It has become a leading social entity in social technology. It creates and delivers 3D printed prosthetics called Trésdesis, free of charge to people throughout the world. It obtains financing through programmes with education centres and through CSR actions with companies. 32 48 30 With its newly expanded lineup, ‘the ONE*-E’ is a high-speed/ultra-precision electric injection molding machine that achieved a dry cycle time of 1.49 s for the first time in Korea. Before the line up expansion, premium electric products lacked a wide range of options, which limited selection for customers. The series expanded to include 50/80/130/400 models in addition to the already existing 110/170/220/280/350 models, and ‘the ONE*-E’ series has received praise for both exceptional products and diverse product lineup. SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, introduced at MD&MWest 2023 two new LNP™ CRX polycarbonate (PC) copolymer resins offering a distinct combination of robust chemical and impact resistance, thin-wall transparency, dimensional stability and processability. In device applications such as clear covers, screens and display lenses, the new materials can overcome key drawbacks of incumbent PC resins and co-polyester resins when exposed to disinfectants or aggressive chemicals.
