THE POLYMER PROCESSING SOCIETY 41ST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE (PPS-41)

DONE Lab was represented by Carina Lopes and Antonio Pontes at The Polymer Processing Society 41st International Conference (PPS-41), held in Paestum, Italy, where researchers and professionals from around the world gathered for one of the leading international events in polymer processing and manufacturing science.

During the conference, research developed within the INOV.AM - Inovação em Fabricação Aditiva project was presented, showcasing the application of simulation, computational design, optimisation techniques, and additive manufacturing to the development of advanced engineering solutions.

Two oral presentations were given, “Optimising a Polymeric Aerospace Component through Computational Tools and Additive Manufacturing” and “Optimisation of a Motorcycle Component Using Advanced Mass Optimisation Techniques: Simulation and Experimental Validation”, alongside one poster presentation, “Evaluating the Performance of an Injection Mould Developed Using Generative Design and Additive Manufacturing”.

PPS-41 provided an excellent opportunity to share research outcomes, exchange knowledge with the international community, and engage in discussions on the future of polymer processing and advanced manufacturing.
