A CLASSIC TRADE BROUGHT TO PERFECTION. Depending on the technical requirements and the details of the design, a variety of transfer media and acids may be used in EtchingEngraving. The design is transferred by rubbing the classic wax print films or modern multilayer films. The latter are transparent and can readily be stretched. They let the skilled engraver make the best possible match to the shape of the mold. The desired engraving is then etched away in an acid bath. The surface of the material is ablated at the unprotected areas and the final engraved image is created. Rinsing the surface and adjusting the degree of gloss completes the process.

Laser module for the patented Advanced Quasi-Simultaneous Welding (AQW process)

The EvoWeld is a universal machine for plastic welding with laser, especially for processing small and medium series. Depending on the application, the system can be equipped with different laser sources and optics modules, thus offering a wide range of applications. With a footprint of approx. 1 m², the system fits into any application environment. Virtually maintenance-free and easy to service, the EvoWeld is predestined for use in 24/7 production. For convenient operation, the system is equipped as standard with the intuitive EvoLaP process software and can thus also implement a wide range of different processing tasks in the field of laser welding of plastics. The EvoWeld goes through the unique CQC calibration concept of Evosys Laser GmbH, which ensures comparability of systems. To guarantee quality even during production at the customer’s site, the system is available with various modules for online process monitoring.

EvoWeld Mini is a complete system in the EvoWeld series. The extremely compact tabletop unit shines with a coherent, ergonomic and economical overall concept. Laser welding of plastics is known for its advantages typical of the process. It impresses with particle-free, gentle and high-quality processing. In combination with its proven cost-effectiveness and reliability, it is now the method of choice worldwide when it comes to joining plastic parts in 24/7 series production. The EvoWeld Mini was developed to make the use of this technology feasible for smaller quantities or for laboratory use. It offers the system technology that is precisely tailored to the processing of small batches such as prototypes or assemblies with limited volumes. EvoWeld Mini means place, connect, weld! With a compact footprint of just 320 x 663 mm² and a height of 533 mm, the tabletop system has everything needed for laser welding. It is of course also compliant with laser class 1, which means that no further protective equipment is required during operation. All essential components are already included in the basic version. Integrated in the housing are the laser including cooling, beam shaping and guiding, and the necessary control components. To increase flexibility and ease of operation, the EvoWeld Mini is equipped with a galvanometer scanner. This enables the industrially common process variants contour and quasi-simultaneous welding. Weld contours are programmed and adapted using the intuitive EvoLaP process software. This makes it very easy to transfer welding processes developed on the EvoWeld Mini to the more highly automated products from the Evosys portfolio. Various extensions for process and quality monitoring are optionally available.

The secret of expandable graphite lies in its expanding and therefore flame-retardant effect. Natural graphite has a special layer structure that allows the intercalation of molecules between the graphite layers. In case of fire, the graphite layers are pushed apart like an accordion. This effect is used to form a protective intumescent layer or to partition off cavities and feedthroughs, depending on the application. The extension of the fire is slowed as a result and underlying materials are protected.

The expert panels are composed of representatives from companies and InCamS@BI. Current research, application possibilities, and new developments are discussed in a confidential format. The focus is on sharing experiences and mutual support. The expert panels also serve to initiate collaborations and joint projects between companies and Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences and Bielefeld University. Currently, expert panels are held on the topics of "Circular Economy in Corporate Strategy," "Innovation Forum," and "Plastics and the Circular Economy."

Grain patterns borrowed from nature or graphically abstracted Plastic surfaces that perfectly imitate natural materials can be created by adding color and particles in combination with structures. The surface grains appear deceptively real, but have cost advantages over their natural and therefore expensive twins. “In addition, the flexibility of plastics offers extended possibilities for shaping the products,” says Tonnecker. He mentions wood, stone and woven fiber structures, matt and contrasting, glossy or transparent for corresponding substitutions, which can also be used to expand the areas of application. Another focus of current design trends is graphic surfaces or graining, which are created using geometric and sometimes microscopically small patterns strung together. “They appear handcrafted and at the same time convey technical precision,” says Tonnecker, describing their special appeal. “Dark color nuances and tones that convey the absence of light and thus heaviness often contrast with light and iridescent colors,” he describes, citing as examples foils that have an effect on the surface, for example on furniture or technical housings.

acad prototyping Making ideas reality - prototypes in injection molding technology Driven by Improvement: Progress is not achieved by definition, but only by proof. Prototypes are the ideal way to obtain product confirmation and validation through a variety of testing possibilities and to identify further development needs. The selection of the manufacturing process for prototypes depends on the maturity of the product development and the required validation. Whenever it is necessary to test series-identical strength and rigidity, as well as the processing influences typical of injection molding, original series materials and injection molding technology are the first choice. Prototypes for product development: acad prototyping quickly and cost-effectively produces plastic injection molding prototypes from original series materials that provide all the necessary results for validation, confirmation or further development of the product and manufacturing technology. Our plastic parts originate from a unique tooling and manufacturing technology that is close to the development stage. quality as well as time and cost advantages for product development. What we offer: Our customers benefit from short lead times, favorable tooling costs and ease of modification. Initial samples of individual parts or entire assemblies can be completed within as little as 5 AT. These can be used to comprehensively assess warpage, sink marks, yield lines, dimensions and tolerances, as well as the basic function, strength and rigidity of the article. to be comprehensively assessed. In addition, small test assemblies from 50 to 2,000 parts can be produced extremely economically due to the low tooling costs, even with high article complexity.
