Polyman project with Meusburger standard components

The Polyman is about to be the new sensation in the training of tool and mould makers. It is a handy piece of two-component plastic created with half plastic compatible components and half non-plastic compatible components. It combines both the good and the bad of injection moulding processes and makes them recognisable at a glance.

Cooperation within the industry - an example par excellence!

The Polyman project is the product of exemplary collaboration between technology partners and sponsors. The idea and conception came from Professor Steffen Ritter of the Reutlingen University of Applied Sciences. The Association of German Tool and Mould Makers kick-started and coordinated the project. In the end, the Polyman team pulled together: the Georg Meusburger company from Wolfurt, Austria who supplied the standard components, Borealis and Granula who took care of the polyethylene (the masterbatch), engineer Dirk Falke from Sukow who created the design, Formotion from Wilnsdorf who built the tool and KraussMaffei from Munich who supplied the injection moulding machine to be used for the Polyman's production at the Moulding Expo. The Stuttgart Trade Fair there provided its marketing channels for the project. In addition, the Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences agreed to continue producing the Polyman after the Moulding Expo so that this exceptional injection moulding model remains available.
