Review of 2023 - outlook for 2024 (www.polyformnext.de)
Mirko Bromberger, Director, DACH/Benelux Marketing, Altair
2023 was characterized by economic stagnation with high, albeit declining, inflation rates and geopolitical tensions and crises. But with Fakuma and the innovations presented there, there was also a lot of positive news last year. At the turn of the year 2023/2024, we once again asked decision-makers in the plastics industry about their highlights of 2023 and their predictions for the development of this year.

Topology optimization for sustainable... (www.polyformnext.de)
Less is more: reduce instead of recycle
Sustainability in engineering plastics does not just start with recycling. When designing the components, it is crucial to use only as much material as is required for the optimum performance of the product. Topology optimization plays a decisive role here.
