Can components that are currently manufactured in large quantities using the injection moulding process be optimized in terms of theircarbon footprint without sacrificing performance or incurring higher costs?
AVK is currently working together with a consortium under the title “Tape Technology Transfer Hub” (T3-Hub) to optimize the established injection moulding process. The focus of the joint project between the Aachen Center for Integrative Lightweight Construction at RWTH Aachen University (AZL), AZL Aachen GmbH, the
Conbility GmbH, the Institute of Plastics Processing (IKV) at RWTH Aachen University and SIMCON kunststofftechnische Software GmbH is to optimize the injection moulding process by partially inserting fibre-reinforced tapes into the component.
