摘要：
Background: In recent times, large diameter plastic pipes have been widely used in many functions because of their unique advantages. These applications include water supply, drainage, heat-ing network, industrial transportation, gas delivery, agricultural irrigation, etc. Therefore, manufacturing large diameter plastic pipes economically and efficiently has now become an important research area. Objective: This paper reviews patents of plastic pipe manufacturing or forming to provide insights and references to researchers in the domain of larger diameter plastic pipe production. Methods: This paper reviews the Spouted-accumulated Forming, a production method that combines the advantages of traditional extrusion, calendaring, and additive manufacturing. It is a novel process to manufacture large diameter plastic pipes. Results: The experiment result shows that Spouted-accumulated Forming can be used to manufacture large diameter plastic pipes efficiently with lower costs. This paper argues that this novel method will serve as a promising technology to manufacture larger diameter pipes in the future. Conclusion: Since traditional manufacturing processes cannot fulfil the requirement of large diameter of plastic pipes, it is necessary to develop novel processes such as Spouted-Accumulated Forming (SAF, based on additive manufacturing). © 2021 Bentham Science Publishers.
