Down-to-earth role for imidized polymers
. Techniques for processing imidized polymers today routinely include compression molding, extrusion, and injection molding. Flexible processing lets designers replace metals or ceramics in applications such as O-ring backups, seal rings, valve seats, thrust washers, and bearings. Imidized polymers are also

Better inspection: Less Scrap
a clear path on tire sidewalls. Contact sensors such as LVDTs (linear-variable-differential transformers) have similar shortcomings. Contact pressure deforms the rubber, resulting in erroneous data. In-process measurements, such as extrusion profiling, are impractical with contact sensors because tire

Down-to-earth role for imidized polymers
. This perception, plus a need for high processing temperatures, together have kept this class of polymers out of wide deployment. Now, however, the situation has changed. Techniques for processing imidized polymers today routinely include compression molding, extrusion, and injection molding. Flexible

CAD package handles architectural and mechanical design
when an extrusion started from the center of an entity must extend in opposite directions. Before, I had to extrude the 2D profile twice, once in each direction, and then add the two extrusions together. The new tool does this in one easy step. I tend to create a lot of extrusions this way, so
