Lecture on “Foam Injection Molding” at the APAC Congress in Shanghai

NEWS-en

In the course of the 19th Asia Pacific Automotive Engineering Congress APAC in Shanghai, Dr. Hans Wobbe will be holding a lecture about “Lightweight design – new production equipment with up to 50% higher productivity for foam injection molding”. The process of injection molding for foamed components has grown from few molders in the past to a popular process in recent years. With solutions available today to avoid poor surface qualities – the only real disadvantage involved in foam injection molding – this process has grown to be a real alternative to compact injection molding.The key for this lies in…

Prof. Hopmann further expands IKV network in China

NEWS-en

China is not only one of the biggest sales markets for German industry and thus also for German plastics companies, it is also one of the most important economic partners in Asia. In order to increase the visibility of IKV on the largest Asian market, Professor Hopmann together with Dr. Hans Wobbe visited several Chinese plastic companies and also established contacts with Chinese universities. The itinerary included the injection molding machine manufacturers, Haitian International, Ningbo, and Yizumi Precision Machinery, Guangdong, as well as Jwell Machinery, Shanghai, which builds extrusion lines. Yizumi Precision Machinery was so convinced of what IKV has…

Lecture on “Combination Technologies” at the 43rd Foundry Colloquium Aachen

NEWS-en

As invited speaker at the 43rd Foundry Colloquium, held by the Institute of Foundry, Aachen / Germany, Dr, Hans Wobbe will be holding a lecture on “Combination technologies metal / plastics based on injection molding process”. Driven by the global trends of increasing mobility, declining resources as well as the climate change, the subject of the lightweight construction has emerged as a top topic. One way to develop lightweight design leads from the multi-material systems of combination between metal and plastics. Based on the injection molding process for plastics – suitable for mass-production – the lecture shows the current combination…
