Thermoplast-Schaumspritzgiessen

The use of thermoplastic foam injection moulding technology leads to a multitude of new possibilities that could not be exploited with the injection moulding techniques used up to now. The foam injection moulding process opens up new markets for innovative product shaping. Optimal manufacturing possibilities and lower unit costs allow its use in the most diverse branches of industry and technology. In addition to the numerous advantages of foam injection moulding, there are also challenges for the application. For example, a non-optimal process control causes the occurrence of faulty foam structures, which can have a negative effect on the component properties. A good understanding of the process is therefore important for controlling the process in order to optimize components with desired properties in a targeted manner.
