Customer Benefits
VW placed its order for 350 vehicle components at the end of 2018. The final small-series parts were delivered in February 2020. The corresponding gauges and smaller technical parts followed and repeat orders and components for spare part production are currently being delivered. For MOIA, this meant the introduction of a new mobility solution, an improvement in transport efficiency and the creation of sustainable transport options. For MODELLTECHNIK, it was a first step into the small-series business and thus also a boost to the market presence and led to the development of specialist knowledge, transformation and diversification, and the expansion of capacity and supply chains.

The production of RIM tools for trim parts such as front spoiler, grill cover and side skirts, including the project documentation to ensure part traceability, was the task of MODELLTECHNIK in this exciting project.
METHODS AND TECHNOLOGIES USED
Manufacturing RIM tools from plastic block material
Low pressure injection molding (RIM)
Tempering PU parts in the tempering chamber
Customer Benefits
The production of RIM tools was the main requirement in this project, which was met to the customer's complete satisfaction thanks to our years of expertise. Thanks to the possibility of tempering the polyurethane parts in the in-house tempering chamber, efficient and high-quality production was possible. At the customer's request, individual tempering molds can also be milled by MODELLTECHNIK.
