Episode 14: Foam for future applications

Complex assembly boards for electromobility demonstrate the great potential of foam injection molding. Dr. Felix Reiche, Managing Director of Hesco Kunststoffverarbeitung in Germany, and Andreas Schramm, Managing Director of WITTMANN BATTENFELD Deutschland, take a look into the future of gas-assisted injection molding processes, starting with this application and extending to the joint processing of recycled materials and bioplastics. The future looks bright, as it is about much more than lightweight construction. It is about material and energy efficiency, about new product designs where other technologies reach their limits, and it is about the recovery of German industrial locations, which will require many such creative ideas.
