The optimization of moulded parts and moulds is coming more into the focus of the plastics industry, because the demands on surface quality, tolerances and cycle times are increasing due to the global competitive situation.

The Kunststoff-Institut Lüdenscheid provides support with the following tasks:

• Optimization of the geometry of the moulded part in terms of the positioning of weld lines, venting problems, warpage problems and strength.
• Flow and thermal optimization of the mould to achieve shortest cycle times (MOLDFLOW analyses)
• Mechanical component analyses
• Special procedures (e. g. gas injection, sandwich technology, hybrid technologies with metal and plastics components)
