Virtual Innovation Day

Transformation processes caused by digitalisation, a growing shortage of skilled workers and an increased international competitive pressure affect every industry worldwide. Our business experts will not only analyse the given situation but also look at the changes from different perspectives and provide fresh approaches to possible solutions.

Selected international tool making champions present themselves together with renowned makers of injection moulding machines. The special show was expected to be the highlight of Moulding Expo 2021 showcasing state-of-the-art production concepts in action. Due to the Corona pandemic, the exhibition concept can only be realised in 2023. Nevertheless, you can check out all innovations from the Plastics Technology Centre in advance in our Future Report. 

First-rate information for the production of the future - short, compact, to the point: Learn all about innovative manufacturing strategies in tool, model and mould making from the machine to clamping and machining tools through to manufacturing strategies and the enterprise of the future.

Only a closer look at a mould reveals its fascination. Cavities, channels or ejectors must be made visible in order to reach a higher level during teaching and training. Experts dedicated themselves to this symbiosis of technology and didactics, and developed new training methods for tool, pattern and mould making. You can read in our article what different possibilities are opened up by the teaching and learning concept SCHOOLTOOL in injection moulding and mould construction training.

Good form worldwide: A look at the worldwide markets for tool construction and mould making shows a colourful picture of the state of this industrial sector. In this context, markets such as Portugal, Canada or South Africa are connected by common challenges, but also successes and similar targets. You can find out how things stand in times of the pandemic with the worldwide tool construction and mould making sector in our international market report.
