No Ducking Away – Listening!

Comprehensive resource efficiency means far more than the preservation of natural resources. It also includes the productivity factors of material, machine and labor. The plastics industry has made a great contribution to resource efficiency, but often finds itself on the defensive. Yet a knowledge of the various relationships involved provides enough material to go on the offensive with arguments illustrating the benefits of plastics technology.

Resource Efficiency with  Plastics Technology 

Rotation, shear, heat and pressure – this much is clear: These are the factors required to compound plastics on twin screw extruders. From a scientific point of view, however, the question remained until recently as to which mechanisms exist during incipient fusion along with the energy input into the melt resulting. Scientists from the plastics division at Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF in Darmstadt, Germany, have been successful in gaining an insight into these processes by using new types of measuring techniques.

SEAM (Screw Extrusion Additive Manufacturing) opens up new perspectives for additive manufacturing. The process was developed by Metrom GmbH in Hartmannsdorf, together with the Fraunhofer Institute for machine tools and forming technology (IWU) in Chemnitz, both Germany.

15 sessions and 4 plenary lectures – 19 times information, impulses and perspectives.

Talking to each other in person, discussing new trends and technologies, and participating in a lively forum for the plastics industry – this is what participants can look forward to at this year‘s IKV Colloquium on September 7 and 8 in Aachen.

In 15 sessions, the current research topics of IKV will be presented and linked with perspectives and needs of the industry. Each session will be introduced by an experienced industry representative who will open the topic with an impulse presentation and moderate the following contributions from IKV.

The goal is to inform comprehensively, to show perspectives and to stimulate discussions. Each session therefore offers deep insights and shows approaches for the future development of plastics technology. With a wide range of expertise and a lecture programme that covers all areas of activity in the plastics industry, there are countless opportunities for a productive exchange of ideas. Each participant choose on site which sessions are of interest to him and thus put together his individual lecture programme.

In 2022, the IKV will once again give special attention to the major current and future issues of the plastics industry that affect us all. With four plenary lectures, we offer a perfect format that gives all participants the opportunity to follow the lectures of renowned speakers of the industry together.

The 31st IKV Colloquium will take place in Aachen in the beginning of September 2022.

IKV Colloquium: Research Meets Practice

Digitalization & AI in Plastics Processing

In several projects and with interdisciplinary project partners, the IKV is researching where AI and digitization can be of particular benefit in plastics processing. The results will be presented at the IKV colloquium. Two sessions at the Colloquium will deal with the topic of digitalization: Session 1 “On the way to autonomous injection molding production” and Session 4 “Value creation potential through digital infrastructures”, each with a keynote speech from the industry and two scientific presentations from the IKV. Find more information <a href="https://en.kunststoffe.de/a/news/assistance-systems-facilitate-process-co-2756776">here</a>.

Additive Manufacturing will be the topic of Session 14: Additive manufacturing of large components with a keynote speech from industry by Dr. Wolfgang Meyer, Head of Central Function and Innovations, Volkswagen AG and two scientific presentations by IKV.

During IKV 360° Research Live, the scientific staff will demonstrate the potential of additive manunfacturing at two different stations:
