Surface technology for moulded parts
The Kunststoff-Institut will support you in the selection, application and assessment of optimal surface finish techniques for moulded parts and moulds.
Surface technology for moulded parts
- Selection of surface engineering and decoration processes including introduction of new decoration technologies
- Process development and optimisation, process combinations
- Symbol and ambience lighting for light engineering applications
- Plant evaluation and project planning worldwide
- Process optimisation and reject rate minimisation
- Selection of suppliers and cost consideration
- “Design meets Plastic” design and technology workshops in the surface engineering showroom
Surface testing technology
- Extensive range of surface testing technology such as colour and gloss measurement, non-contact roughness and topography measurement, surface energy, scratch and abrasion resistance, coating thickness measurement (s.a. testing technology)
- Support in the drafting of test specifications
- Research & development
Application Centre for surface engineering
The service portfolio of the surface engineering application centre (AOT) includes:
- prototyping, first samples and small batches
- coating and parameter optimisation
- development, testing and qualification of new systems and process combinations
Equipment on site:
- clean room robot painting system, manual painting cabin
- PVD coating system (magnetron sputtering)
- UV hardening system
- IMD production cell
- thermoforming line
- electrostatic flocking station
- water transfer process
- marking laser, laser cutting system
- UV digital printing, pad printing, hot stamping
- corona, flame treatment, fluorination, plasma
- parts cleaning, micro shot blasting
- 3D printer (FDM technology)
- In our showroom, a great variety of different decorating processes are demonstrated on a moulded part in an inspiring environment.
