A new transient 3D finite element method for predicting extrudate swell of domains
containing sharp edges is proposed. Here, the sharp edge is maintained over a large …

In this paper we propose a novel approach to solve the inverse problem of three-
dimensional die design for extrudate swell, using a real-time active control scheme. To this …

Plastics extrusion is a manufacturing process suited for continuous profiles with a fixed cross-
section. The function of the extrusion die is to reshape the melt, which originally has a …

Individualized production, which is a major goal of many high-wage countries, describes a
production process in which all elements of a production system are designed in such a way …

Zusammenfassung Das Konzept der individualisierten Produktion (engl.„Mass
Customization “) verbindet die gegensätzlichen Produktionskonzepte der Massenfertigung …

The concept of mass customisation connects the opposed production concepts of mass
production and customisation to enable an economical production of customer-specific …

The classical approach to extrusion die design relies heavily on the experience of the die
designer; Especially the designer's ability to create an initial die design from a product …

The rather unintuitive and non-linear behavior of plastics melts is a well-known obstacle in
the design and manufacturing cycle of profile extrusion dies. This is reflected, for example, in …

This work presents a new design procedure for improving the flow distribution in complex
profile extrusion dies. The proposed approach is based on open source software and aims …

With the I-type plastic extrusion die for example, the advantages and disadvantages
between the traditional design method and optimization design method were compared. The …
