Functional integration through multi-component technology and ways to reach series production readiness faster are the focus of this year’s VDI Annual Conference “Injection Moulding” (“Spritzgießen”), held on 10–11 February in Baden-Baden. Mastering the production of highly complex multi-component parts, but also the ability to develop new products as quickly as possible and bring them to series production readiness, are the prerequisites for the German plastics industry to continue to hold its own successfully in international competition.
The conference covers the advances in multi-component injection moulding as well as current trends and developments in the composite injection moulding of thermoplastics with metals, thermosets, elastomers and particle foams. Another topic is the functionalisation of components for lightweight construction.
As part of this event, Dr. Erwin Bürkle gives the introductory lecture on the development of special injection moulding processes for plastic parts in automobiles.
