production-specific tool concept is developed. As part of the concept development, the feasibility is also reviewed and classic errors such as shrinkage, malformation, filling behavior etc. are eliminated on the basis of tool and filling simulations. At the same time, the tool is optimized, for example through the use of materials for the wall thicknesses, the optimization of the injection point or the optimal coating of the tool surfaces. This avoids costs by avoiding complex and costly correction grinding. The implementation of close contour temperature control using a variety of techniques is considered in order to optimize the part quality.<br \/><br \/>You give us your CAD data - we\u2019ll take care of the rest.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Komplexe Spritzgie\u00dfwerkzeuge werden bei uns gebaut Die Entwicklung von einfachen bis hin zu komplexen Spritzgie\u00dfwerkzeugen und deren Produktion erfolgt im eigenen Werkzeugbau [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":38,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-42","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/potthoff.vogomedia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/42","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/potthoff.vogomedia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/potthoff.vogomedia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/potthoff.vogomedia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/potthoff.vogomedia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/potthoff.vogomedia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/42\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":511,"href":"https:\/\/potthoff.vogomedia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/42\/revisions\/511"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/potthoff.vogomedia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/38"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/potthoff.vogomedia.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
