Tailorlux GmbH, an innovative company from Münster, has received ZIM funding for the “KIMaTex” research project together with SKZ – Das Kunststoff-Zentrum. The aim of the project is to develop a mobile and location-independent analysis tool that combines spectroscopic technologies, […]
Wires, cables and pipes are often referred to as the lifelines of our modern society. Many may now think directly of the supply of essentials such as electricity and the internet. However, other essential media such as water, gas or […]
If plastic components are subjected to cyclical loads, they fail at lower load levels than under a single load due to material fatigue. Experts at the SKZ Plastics Center are therefore working on ways to estimate this behavior more quickly […]
Under the project management of Silicann Systems GmbH, the SKZ is launching the SpectralAIge research project together with HAIP Solutions GmbH and the Fraunhofer IFF. The associated challenges in waste management require innovative solutions. The SpectralAIge joint project aims to […]
The German government’s new import strategy is intended to provide Germany and the German economy with a sufficient supply of hydrogen and H2 derivatives. Hydrogen is a highly topical issue and more and more components, such as pipelines, must be […]
As in previous years, the SKZ is once again awarding the “Premium Partner” award retroactively for 2024 to companies that work together with the Plastics Center to advance the industry. In cooperation with Meusburger, an injection molding error catalog was […]
