Objectif
The competitive strength of European industry is based on continuous product innovation, reduced production time and costs and the maintenance of high quality in manufacturing. In this field, the small and medium sized enterprises (SME) play a major role in supporting global players like automotive, aircraft, or capital goods industries or tapping the full potential of traditional sectors by the use of advanced technologies. An important market sector is the injection moulding of plastics for household or industrial use. Today's applications require extensive throughput time and costs in mould and die making. Modern applications in heat resistant metal dies suffer significantly from a lack of suitable machining capabilities. Therefore, the intended project aim is an integrated hybrid machine tool solution on basis of three manufacturing technologies - HSC-milling, laser ablation, and dry-ice blasting - for automated machining high-quality free-form moulds and dies.
