Extrusion dies, in which melted raw materials are forced continuously into a profile to produce various plastic products, are often empirically designed leading to overweight and waste in materials, energy and emissions. Lightweight design method has... Read More about A new lightweight design method integrating shape optimization with life cycle assessment for extrusion dies.
