Development of foamed parts
Foaming plastic components offers clear functional and economic advantages.
However, not every component offers the same potential. We evaluate your component in terms of its potential for the foaming process.
We tailor the component, material, and process perfectly to foaming so that maximum performance can be achieved with minimum effort.
Feasibility Analysis
- Initial inquiry - Initial assesment of the component
- Analyse potentials solid vs. MuCell
- Choose the right process: high pressure/low pressure foaming/ foaming with gas counter pressure
- Mantara
- Process oriented material selection
Concept development/-validation
- Detailed analysis - part analysis/ mold-Analyse / cost-benefit-analysis
- Component. process and tool concepts
- Verification through mold trials
- Material calibration for teh foaming process for high precision results
Process oriented part development
- Wall thickness analysis
- Geometry re-design
Process simulation (Moldflow/mechanical FEM)
- Rheological design: Gating, Auslegung: Anspritzung, flow leader, rib connections, hot spot identification, weld lines, mold temperature control, density distribution
- Dimensional accuracy: Shrinkage and Warpage calculation
Process oriented engineeringof tools and peripherals
- Tool development
- Process monitoring
