RJG offers part design analysis


US-headquartered training and consulting company RJG has started a new service for Part Design Analysis, in which the company’s engineers will work with customers to make recommendations based on key product requirements, including product usage and function, so as to analyse how their part design will perform. The offer costs $1,500 and includes: design consultation through the use of Mouldex3D, Sig- masoft or Autodesk Mouldflow engineering services, detailed reports and recommendations and a one-hour web meeting consultation. This is all part of RJG’s Tzero programme to optimise the mould development process. RJG says its injection moulding experts help through simulation, education, and assessment. ❙ www.rjginc.com


KraussMaffei collaborates on FRP-metal hybrids


Injection moulding machine maker KraussMaffei has revealed that it is working with the Institute for Lightweight Engineering & Polymer Technology at Dresden University of Technology and others from industry and academia on the LEIKA project. This is based at a new lab at the institute. LEIKA stands for ‘light-


weight construction in auto body components’ in German. Its focus is on hybrid processes and materials from fibre-rein- forced plastics (FRP) and metal for the automotive lightweight construction. The research is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education & Research and is focused on


DME deal in conformal cooling


Milacron’s DME business, a specialist in mould components, has formed a venture with Linear AMS to offer metal 3D printed conformal cooling products. DME’s TruCool conformal cooling products use a direct metal, laser-melting 3D


printing process to produce highly complex cavities, cores and components with conformal cooling channels. ❙ www.milacron.comwww.linearams.com


Teijin develops hard-coating glazing technology


Japan’s Teijin Group has developed a new hard-coating technology that can be applied evenly on large or complex- shaped automotive windows made of polycarbonate. This, the company said, will enable these windows to achieve the same level of abrasion resistance as glass windows and double the weather resistance of conventional

plastic glazing. The company’s initial plans


are to make small-lot samples of windows using this technol- ogy for selected car models at a pilot plant in Matsuyama. It will seek to prove the tech- nologies at production scale for a wider range of windows in order to move to full-scale commercial manufacturing. Teijin had worked with


INJECTION WORLD | March/April 2017


Tsukishima Kikai to develop a plasma chemical vapour deposition (CVD) pilot plant capable of treating large moulded resin products including complex curved surfaces. The new hard-coat- ing technology is said to meet Japanese, US and EU abrasion resistance standards. It applies a plasma CVD layer to the wet hard-coat layer,


preventing oxygen or water vapour from penetrating and subsequently degrading the underlying wet hard-coat layer, which absorbs UV rays. Sabic’s Exatec technology is


the only other plasma hard coating technology for abrasion, scratching and UV degradation protection in automotive PC glazing. ❙ www.teijin.com

forming and back-injecting FRP-metal hybrid materials in a single step. KraussMaffei has designed


a low bolt-on unit that is fully integrated with the production line, including a press, infrared oven, robot and conveyor belt.


The unit can carry out both injection moulding and extrusion, apportioning the injection volume in the process. Up to five areas can be reinforced locally in one cycle. ❙ www.kraussmaffei.com
