Kunststoff-Institut Lüdenscheid

Got an idea for a product but don't yet know how to realise it in conceptual and technical production terms? These kind of issues are exactly what the Lüdenscheid Plastics Institute addresses. Specialising in the entire field of plastics technology, it supports companies in selecting, developing, optimising and implementing products, tools and processes. The aim of the Plastics Institute is to make the scientific expertise of the future usable in today's manufacturing. Founded in 1988, today the Institute offers a wide range of services. It focusses its efforts on increasing quality and economic viability in the plastics industry. One major emphasis is placed on the field of injection moulded parts made from thermoplastics and thermosets.

Quote from chartered engineer Dominik Malecha (head of surface technology mouldings):

‘CO₂ laser technology offers the advantage of being able to cut many different plastics and also other materials, such as wood veneers or textiles, whilst remaining flexible in the choice of cutting contours. The smoke-free cutting of films which are subsequently back-injected with plastic is especially important to the Plastics Institute.’
