WAYS TO A SUSTAINABLE PRODUCT
SHAPE & DESIGN
Design and construction suitable for plastics - an important basis for product success
In order to realize successful plastic products, you need a sophisticated construction - a successful design. This must correspond to the plastic material and the required boundary conditions as well as the intended production process in the best possible way.
We can support you here.
MATERIAL SELECTION & REQUIREMENTS LIST
Plastics are tailored to requirements - the right choice is crucial
Plastics are universal materials made to measure. Accordingly, the choice is almost limitless - and therefore confusing.
In plain language, this means that the right material must be found based on the requirements placed on the plastic part to be designed. If this is taken to heart, the subsequent success of the project is within reach.
PRODUCT AND MATERIAL LIFE CYCLE
Products are thought further than before - solutions for a product life now and beyond.
Versatile material, universal application, coveted and limited resource, environmentally harmful factor - plastic stands for these contradictory attributes. One of the core tasks of product development will be to produce much more intelligent and sustainable plastic parts than before. In this way, we are creating tangible improvements for a long time to come, as well as opportunities to re-create value from the material, while at the same time acting more responsibly towards future generations.
CONSIDERATION OF THE PROCESS CHAIN
From the first drafts to the finished product to recycling - a long way with a lot of untapped potential.
The plastics technology process chain is particularly diversified. Here, the people involved in design, engineering, craftsmanship and production change, as do the tools used and the materials from metal (e.g. injection molds) to polymers (3D printing, injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, etc.). At best, these changes happen within a company. As a rule, however, these take place in a variety of ways between individual companies, each with different value creation goals. Strict adherence to the process chain is therefore essential for a plastic product to be successful at all.
COMMUNICATION & INNOVATION
Creating space for innovation and promoting interdisciplinary communication skills.
Today, innovative product development means being in constant communication - with other departments, other companies, other countries and cultures. Those involved need special skills to be able to cope well with these challenges. Our aim is to promote this.
PLASTICS TECHNOLOGY TRAINING
Doing the right things and doing things right - at the right time
In the highly fragmented processes and projects that are common today, it is almost impossible to tackle every task yourself with the necessary knowledge. This is like flying blind. And that rarely goes well. It's reassuring to have a local pilot at your side. This is us.
