A laser is a unit that produces a high intensity beam of light. This can be focused i. e. the power density increased, to melt materials. The anilox laser engraver uses this principle but controls the laser and the position of the beam to produce accurately positioned cells. The fine control of the laser allows for screens up to 3475 1/cm and depth down to 4 microns... 2, record 3, English, - anilox%20laser%20engraver

The [intermittent extrusion] process has three subcategories : the reciprocating screw method, the ram accumulator method, and the accumulator head method.... The ram accumulator method, which is no longer in widespread use, is intended for heavy parts weighing 2 kg or more. Much like the reciprocating screw, the system is used to quickly extrude heavy parisons that might sag or draw down from gravity. The accumulator is a reservoir mounted alongside the extruder. A piston or plunger pushes the melt through the extrusion head. Unlike the reciprocating screw, melt that enters the reservoir first is the last to leave. 1, record 5, English, - ram%20accumulator%20method

Crystallizing polymers, when cooled down from the unoriented melt, generally crystallize on heterogeneities such as catalyst remnants, dust particles and the like(...). Certain substances, when incorporated in a polymer melt, promote abundant nucleation. These substances are then called nucleating agents. 2, record 6, English, - nucleating%20agent

A series of minerals in which any early-formed mineral phase tends to react with the melt, later in the differentiation, to yield a new mineral further down in the series; e. g. early-formed crystals of olivine react with later liquids to form amphiboles.
