2K INJECTION MOLDING
TECMAPLAST uses 18 presses, including advanced technologies (transfer by robot gripper, cavity and index plate transfer) to excel in 2K injection molding.
Each year, we create 2K injection molding products using a variety of materials: engineering thermoplastics and expandable thermoplastics. These technologies meet sealing, insulation, aesthetic, and economic requirements.
Our expertise allows us to produce a wide range of products: valves, buttons, handles, cassettes, housings and lights.
OVERMOULDING / ASSEMBLY
TECMAPLAST aims to provide a tailored solution to each of its customers. For this purpose, TECMAPLAST has expanded its product range by incorporating various areas of expertise such as overmolding of plastic inserts, backlighting inserts, metal inserts and magnets on horizontal or vertical presses.
TECMAPLAST has also developed assembly processes by integrating semi-automated workstations or finishing lines, allowing the delivery of complete assemblies and sub-assemblies.
At the same time, TECMAPLAST carries out complementary operations such as ultrasonic welding.
Finally, to meet its customers’ quality requirements, TECMAPLAST has always been committed to integrating error-proofing systems (component presence detectors, Poka Yoké, etc.) into the manufacturing process.
PART DECORATION
Since its creation, TECMAPLAST has excelled in part decoration, particularly with pad printing and hot stamping. To offer a complete range of solutions, we have integrated new technologies, in addition to two-shot and overmolding technologies.
We have developed our expertise in decoration with high-performance tools:
- Automated painting line
- Laser engraving
- High-speed pad printing machine with three marking heads and camera control
Our know-how is valued in the automotive sector for interior parts (buttons, warning lights, ceiling lights, consoles, window control boxes) and in the electrical sector (cowlings, circuit breaker levers).
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
At TECMAPLAST, our team of passionate specialists, with in-depth expertise in markets, customers and products, works closely with our customers and approved suppliers to offer tailor-made solutions from the quotation stage.
From the launch of a program, we put together a multidisciplinary team led by a project manager, ensuring program monitoring through to product acceptance.
We apply our know-how through:
- A high-performance CAD system
- Development and co-design (Product/Process)
- Advanced rheological studies
- Expertise in tooling purchasing and our own innovative design
- A metrology laboratory equipped with 3D CN and 3D optical technologies in France and in Czech Republic
- Participation in research programs with the Innovation Plasturgie Composites and Plastipolis centers
Together, we push the boundaries of innovation to offer our customers cutting-edge technical solutions.
Examples of successful projects :
