Case Study mould construction Germany und China
General project parameters
The order from an existing customer, who had already had injection mould series and prototypes made at AsMoPLAST, was for a 12x high volume production mould for producing a cosmetics package. The show-stopper in the project: The injection moulding tool was produced in Germany and China - a perfect reference for the effective connection of mould construction worlds.
