The combination of the potential of plastic composites and 3D printing have revolutionized the two-wheeled world, resulting in an innovative design and high-performance bicycle. Lightness is the most important requirement of commuter bikes. Dedicated to intensive, daily use perhaps taken on the train or subway. In such a context lightness means transportability and maneuverability. True… Continue reading Plastic composites and 3d printing for a revolutionary bicycle
Thermosetting polymers are special polymers that once produced cannot be remelted without undergoing complete and final chemical degradation. Thermoset materials are processed to arrive at a finished product in two stages: in the first stage polymer chains are created, while in the next stage of molding-which is represented by heating or a catalyzed chemical reaction-the… Continue reading Molding of thermosetting polymers
People who progress in life are those who go out of their way to find the circumstances they want and, if they do not find them, create them (George Bernard Shaw) The Ansa Composites Group has always been involved in the design and manufacture of plastic items for the consumer goods sector, i.e., a market… Continue reading Successful plastic items
“The customer can come to the company even with just an idea: we think of everything needed for the realization of the finished product, including the selection of the most suitable material.” This is how Antonella Zonetti, owner of Ansa Composites Group, sums up the activities of her companies. “Thanks to 50 years of experience… Continue reading Molding of plastics from A to Z
Injection molding is one of the molding methods for processing plastics. The process involves injecting previously heated material into a cold mold under great pressure; during the heating phase, the product reaches the right degree of fluidity necessary to be injected into the mold through a plunger. This type of molding process is particularly suitable… Continue reading Overview of injection molding
With the advent and subsequent refinement in the use of thermoset composites (ultra-high-performance plastics), decidedly advantageous results have been achieved in many cases over the more commonly used metal materials used to date, not only in terms of cost, but also performance. Companies that have embarked on the path of renewal, thanks in part to… Continue reading Replacing metal has become cost-effective – the competitive advantages of thermoset molding
Compression molding is a technology that is normally used for thermoset polymers: the process involves compressing the plastic material inside a heated mold footprint; the heat from the mold thus fluidizes the thermoset material and makes it possible to pressure and consequently make the “shape.” This technology makes it possible to produce parts of different… Continue reading Overview of compression molding
