Sustainable towards the future of mobility

Modular wallbox cover production

We showcase our in-mould decoration (IMD) process expertise, manufacturing a complex electric vehicle (EV) application on an all-electric IntElect 220/660-1100 injection moulding machine. Creating a smart e-charging Wallbox cover, weighing 110 grams, in a 60 second cycle time, this new demonstration centres around sustainability. Despite its decor and complexity, the manufactured IMD part is especially durable due to its special material properties. Yet, the fully recyclable material used - a Makrolon RE polycarbonate supplied by Covestro - is also CO2-neutral.
