| | “Innovative Tool Making”
Comprehensive solutions for the entire manufacturing process
“Innovative Tool Making” is the heading under which seven Fraunhofer institutes will be presenting their work at Euro-Mold 2007. For the first time, this year’s joint stand is a specialized platform that provides orientation and information for the entire tool and die making industry. Together with selected industrial and research partners, the institutes will be presenting 280 m² of new technologies and services for the entire value chain at stand L113 in hall 8.0, covering topics from strategic alignment, tool materials and product development to solutions for tool manufacturing and tool repair for forming and molding processes. This comprehensive approach gives the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and visitors to the trade fair the opportunity to exchange experiences with other companies, suppliers and customers in the tool and die making industry on an interdisciplinary level.

| | Reproducible high quality finish: Automated polishing of complex steel tools
Polished steel tools with high precision surfaces are being used by manufacturers and suppliers in the automotive and aeronautical industries as well as in the fields of medical technology and electrical engineering to mass produce increasingly high quality components. In order to produce these tools faster and in reproducible quality in future, the Fraunhofer IPT is currently working together with nine industrial and scientific project partners to automate the tool surface polishing process. The aim of this work is to develop a new, automated polishing cell that will make the complex finishing process involved in the production of precision tools more cost-effective. Further Information

| | EuroMold 2006: Laser structured freeform surfaces
The Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT will be presenting the latest findings from its joint "FlexOStruk" research project at EuroMold 2006 from November 29 until December 2. Over the course of this project, the Fraunhofer IPT and its nine industrial partners have developed a comprehenisve process with which to flexibly and rapidly produce design structures on tool surfaces. The process involves the use of near net 3D laser beam material removal to introduce design structures into plastic surfaces. Applications of this technique include the production of structured surfaces such as those found in car interiors where, for financial reasons, plastics are used to imitate the look and feel of leather.
