INTRODUCTION
The Polymer Technology Group (PTG) develops near net shape polymer and composite processing technologies, including functional property enhancement, design optimisation and process customisation. The aim is to create dimensionally accurate parts with optimised mechanical properties, while minimising material wastage and manufacturing costs within the process chain.
The group carries out collaborative cutting-edge research with academic institutions, co-develops processes and products with companies, transfers technology and conducts training for the manufacturing industry. PTG welcomes industry partners and industry-minded academic collaborators to work together on innovative research, and process and product development through projects and joint labs.
