Topic:
For the production of lightweight components through an integrated back-moulding process, a mould has to be designed that enables the positioning of tape inserts.
Workgroup:
The workgroup In-mould Technologies deals with the production of hybrid components by back-moulding. The research focuses on the bonding of thermoplastic materials with tapes, metals or wood via form-fitting and/or material-fitting connections.
Objective:
The aim of your work is the conceptual design of a variably constructed injection mould, taking into account the requirements placed on the mould design and functional elements by the back-moulding process.
Your tasks:
For a bachelor thesis you will work on the following tasks:
- Knowledge development in the field of injection mould technology and the back injection process for hybrid components
- Development and drafting of a mould concept that meets specific component and process requirements
For a master thesis you will work on the following tasks:
- Knowledge development in the field of injection mould technology and the back-moulding process for hybrid components
- Focus on the use of unidirectional tape inserts
Development, drafting and basic design of an injection mould that meets specific component and process requirements
Your benefits:
- Independent work with intensive supervision
- Work in a young and motivated team
- Individual coordination of tasks and time frame
- Acquisition of technical knowledge as well as skills in scientific work and writing
- Contact with industrial partners in the field of mould design
- Immediate start possible
Your profil:
- You are studying in the technical or scientific field, for example mechanical engineering, material sciences etc.
- You are keen to work on plastics technology and practice-relevant issues.
- You are independent and motivated.
