The 6th international conference "Progress on Polymer and Composite Products and Manufacturing Technologies" (Polcom) of the University of Campania "Luigi Vanvitell" and the University Politehnica of Bucharest was held in Bucarest, Romania, from November 23 -25, 2022. The event offered informative insights into current research subjects in the field of plastics and plastic-processing manufacturing technologies.
This year's presentations focused not only on novel possibilities of additive manufacturing, but mostly on characterizing mechanical and molecular effects in polymers and composite materials. The fields of application ranged from medical engineering to agricultural vehicles. Future questions such as e.g. the extended reality of design and simulation of polymer products were also addressed.
The Chair of Design and Drive Technology was represented at the Polcom by Thorsten Koers with his contribution on the compensation of vibration behavior of cylindrical components in the FDM process
