T. MICHEL Formenbau GmbH & Co. KG
Always one step ahead! LASERTEC Shape technology makes it possible!
For over 10 years, the medium-sized family company T. MICHEL Formenbau, based in Lautert and consisting of 40 employees, has developed and produced tools and moulds for the plastics processing industry.
Its services range from product development, 3D design, 3D digitisation and prototype construction and tool maintenance to the mechanical processing of particle foam, injection and deep drawing tools for mass production. The automotive, packaging and toy industries, as well as the building and construction industry, are some of the company’s most important fields of application. In order to keep its production facilities state of the art, T. MICHEL Formenbau has just invested in cutting-edge SHAPE technology from DMG MORI.
The new LASERTEC 125 Shape was installed and became operational in Lautert in April of this year. ‘The LASERTEC Shape is unique in the world!’, says owner Thorsten Michel. ‘This innovative hybrid machine combines milling of the actual mould with continuously accurate surface structuring with a laser! All of this takes place in one clamping, which gives us the necessary precision and, most importantly, saves valuable time.’ The level of demand from customers is high. ‘In one year at the latest we will have a second, probably larger, LASERTEC machine’, says Thorsten Michel with certainty. ‘This new process allows for boundless design options!’
The ability of the LASERTEC 125 Shape to laser texture mould tools in five axes will replace the highly intensive and environmentally unfriendly etching process.
