On 27 and 28 November 2024, ENGEL will open its doors for the foammelt Days, inviting experts and enthusiasts from the field of plastics engineering to explore the full potential of foam injection moulding in both theory and practice. From simulation and tool development to component production, participants will gain a detailed and hands-on insight into every step of the process – practical, informative, and innovative. Held in Schwertberg, Austria, the event promises a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge technologies, applications, and innovations in foam injection moulding.

Foam injection moulding has established itself as a key technology for sustainable and efficient manufacturing solutions. At the foammelt Days, ENGEL will shed light on both chemical and physical foam moulding processes for plastics. With over 40 years of experience in this field, ENGEL ranks among the global leaders in foam injection moulding technology. The advantages of this method are clear: significant weight reduction combined with a wide range of technical and design possibilities. Extending well beyond the automotive sector, the applications for this technology are increasingly found in technical injection moulding. ENGEL demonstrates how innovative manufacturing methods contribute to addressing global challenges such as sustainability.

The foammelt Days provide a unique platform for knowledge transfer. Through a series of expert presentations, participants will gain valuable insights into the physical and chemical fundamentals of foaming, cutting-edge tool technologies, and the latest developments in process engineering. Best-practice examples from partners such as SABIC and BOREALIS further illustrate the practical applications of foam injection moulding across various industries.

A particular highlight of the event is ENGEL’s state-of-the-art technical centre, where live demonstrations and exhibits make foam injection moulding an immersive experience. Participants will have the chance to see these technologies in action and explore the potential of this innovative process first-hand. The exhibitor foyer and dedicated networking spaces further foster exchanges among experts, partners, and participants across the entire value chain. This underlines ENGEL’s commitment to being not just a technology provider but also a pioneer in sustainable innovation.

The foammelt Days are an essential event for anyone looking to shape the future of foam injection moulding or benefit from ENGEL’s extensive expertise. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from ENGEL’s decades of experience and their partners’ cutting-edge contributions, and witness lightweight construction at its finest.
