Hipermoulding
Smarter and faster production technology for plastic products with conformal cooling channels in high performance injection moulds and moulding processes.
RESEARCH
The cooling channels will be positioned in an optimal way near, or conformal to, the surface of the injection mould to achieve a more efficient thermal management.
The research focuses on design, manufacturing and use of the High Performance Moulds.
DELIVERABLES
- Desing criteria for conformal cooling channels.
- Automated positioning of conformal cooling channels through a knowledge based software system.
- Finishing strategy for layer based moulds.
- Technology for optimal injection moulding using High Performance Moulds.
- Training programme of research results.
THE EFFECTS
- Reduction of cycle time of injection moulding processes.
- Advantage for the environment by saving energy.
- Part cost reduction and better part quality.
- Enforcement of competitiveness of the European industry.
This project is supported by funding under the 6th Research Programme of the European Union. Participating countries: Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom.
