Tasks

 

  • In the Plastics and Elastomer Technology department, the workshop is primarily a place for consultation during the tool design exercise and a place for the production of various devices for Bachelor's, Master's and project work, in addition to an NC practical course.
  • With our machines, we are able to manufacture complete injection moulding tools with all the necessary work steps independently.
  • The Deckel NC milling machine has just been equipped with a new Heidenhain control system that can communicate directly with the Catia V5 3D design programme.
