Compression Molding
Of Fleece, Plastics or Wood
Cutting
Depending on the geometry, it is possible to punch the molded parts subsequently or cut them through waterjet cutting. Even machining with saws or milling is possible
Compression Molding Process
We manufacture various cases and molded parts with several molding presses. Our press lines support large formats and a strong pressing force to press plastics and non-wovens. During the molding process, we heat the material in a contact heater and then shape it in a molding press. For this, we require individual tools that can be produced very cost-effective compared to other production methods.
By separating the heating and forming / cooling station, we achieve short cycle times. This way, the interplay between the heating and pressing module allows us to optimize process times. Thus, a batch production for large volumes is achieved.
Flexible Design through Segmented Pressing
Through targeted heating and the corresponding tools, it is possible to press the non-wovens completely or only partially. Therefore it is possible to integrate acoustically effective cushions / upholstery into an otherwise rigid component.
Creative Decors through Lamination
Non-wovens can be laminated during the forming process with a foil, fleece or with textile decor material (one-shot process). This results in a greater flexibility of surfaces decorations and colors.

Fine tuning for an exact result
In the molding process, we can calibrate the pressing force, heating time and press length with a vast variety of options. It allows the parts to have flexible 3D shapes and to achieve a desired strength of the component. Haptics and material properties can additionally be influenced.
