ASTM Polymer Standards

This standard is aimed at providers of manufacturing services for polymer parts who use additive manufacturing machines and at the customers for these services. Designers of parts as well as buyers and providers of manufacturing services can specify, in a traceable manner, the required or...

This standard aims to give design and production engineers a working basis which enables them to have informed consideration about the use of Laser-based Powder Bed Fusion of Polymers. This standard describes the features of Laser-based Powder Bed Fusion of Polymers and provides...

This document specifies the features of laser-based powder bed fusion of polymers (LB-PBF/P) and provides detailed design recommendations. Some of the fundamental principles are also applicable to other additive manufacturing (AM) processes, provided that due consideration is given to...

Polymers are one of the most versatile and important materials used for capsule preparation despite various others available. Suitably formulated capsules can securely protect ingredients, deliver them to targeted sites, and release them expeditiously, improving functions and minimizing...
