The combiination of injection moulding and additive manufacturing allows the flexible individualisation of plastic products. The application also represents an illustration of Industry 4.0.
An electric ALLROUNDER moulds on the scissor handles, before a data-matrix-code (DMC) code is applied via laser. The freeformer then adds individualised lettering onto the scissor handle via ARBURG Plastic Freeforming (AKF). The process and quality data is recorded via the ARBURG host computer system ALS.
