Full-fledged solution capabilities

From the idea to series production

As your full-service partner, we offer comprehensive plastics solutions from a single source: development, 3D printing, special-purpose engineering, tool technology and injection moulding technology – all under one roof. With our innovative strength, flexibility and reliability, we support you throughout the entire product lifecycle – from the initial idea to series production. Thanks to highly adaptable processes, we are not only flexible but also cost-effective and on time– regardless of whether the project involves prototypes, small-batch production or large-scale series production.

Our customers value us as a partner for demanding projects – from the automotive industry through electronics (connectors & sensors) and medical technology (ventilation & injection devices) to household appliances and damping technology. With our efficient just-in-time logistics, we guarantee maximum flexibility –  from the delivery of special batches in partial quantities to the full-scale shipment. We naturally accomplish this while seamlessly integrating into the existing processes of our customers at the same time.


Let’s realize your projects together – precisely, efficiently, and in partnership. We look forward to your call.

Development

High innovative strength for superior product design

Our innovative strength comes into play when it comes to our ability to economically manufacture superior quality products using as little resources as possible. Superior product design and ongoing optimisation along the entire process chain accelerate production and reduce costs.

Injection moulded parts

First there is a vision – a vision that we can turn into a series-ready product based on our more than 30 years of extensive expertise and our capabilities. You receive the comprehensive support of our experts right from the start, enabling you to realise your vision in the form of plastic.

Processes

We create product-specific processes that link your proprietary design with our commercial production. This enables us to provide you with our broad expertise when it comes to enhancing quality and design, while simultaneously reducing product and equipment costs, and cycle times.

3D printing

Additive manufacturing: Fast, flexible, economical

With 3D printing, we are expanding our range of services to include a technology that offers you entirely new possibilities. From the initial idea, through rapid prototyping, to individual small-batch production – additive manufacturing MADE by Schmid makes development processes more efficient, cost-effective and significantly more flexible.

Particularly in prototype construction, we utilise all 3D printing technologies at our site to transform ideas into tangible models in the shortest possible time. This allows us to adapt and optimise them at an early stage, even before series production begins.
We also use 3D printing ourselves for the production of accessories in our in-house special-purpose machine construction and in our production – for example, for end-of-arm tooling (EOAT), devices, gauges, functional components or production aids. This allows you to benefit from fast, efficient and cost-effective components, as we are not reliant on any suppliers.

Our strengths in 3D printing

For us, innovation isn’t just a buzzword – it’s part of our daily business. With 3D printing, we create space for ideas – and turn visions into tangible results. Discover what makes additive manufacturing at Kunststofftechnik Schmid so special.

An overview of our 3D printing technologies

It is important to choose the right technology for the specific requirement and component. Below is an overview of our three manufacturing technologies.

Whether as a complementary technology to injection moulding or as a standalone manufacturing process, 3D printing offers you design freedom and speeds up your product development.

Special-purpose engineering

Custom solutions

Automation and Industry 4.0 are among the most significant technological developments of our time across all industrial sectors. We recognised these trends early on and have therefore taken the automation of our injection moulding machines into our own hands. Standard solutions are not always available – we therefore develop and build special-purpose machines for internal and external use that are tailored to the relevant requirements. This enables us to ideally adapt the automation and further processing steps to the specific tool/product giving you the benefit of the system’s optimum interaction within the network.

Machine and plant engineering for the following applications:

Thanks to our in-house developed special-purpose machines, we are able to continually increase the complexity of our projects and achieve significant cost savings by integrating various process steps. We plan, design and manufacture production lines that are precisely tailored to your specific requirements.

Injection moulding technology

High-end injection moulding of up to four components

Customers from a wide range of industries rely on technically sophisticated injection-moulded parts made with up to four components. Our unique strength lies in the areas of multi-component technology, thermoplastics processing, elastomers and high-performance plastics. We manufacture roughly 250 million parts every year in around 30 contemporary production facilities – one-third of which are dedicated to multi-component technology. It is standard for us to use fully automated peripherals and state-of-the-art extraction systems, such as six-axis robots.

Quality

In order to document and ensure consistently high quality, we have an innovative IT-based host computer system and CAQ system, which allow us to record and analyse all of the real-time data from ongoing production, and react to changes as quickly as possible. This enables us to produce products of consistently high quality while monitoring and documenting all cycles. This ensures seamless traceability, even reaching back to every shot produced. In addition, depending on the customer’s requirements, application-specific 100-per cent checks can also be carried out by camera inspection.

Automation technology

To meet the ever-growing demands placed on injection moulded parts and modules, we rely on automated solutions from our proprietary special-purpose engineering. We use six-axis robots, particularly for complex motion sequences, such as pick and place, module assembly and post-processing. We offer you camera-based inspection quality and fully automated packaging in ready-to-ship trays from a single source as part of a complete package.

Projects and outsourcing

Your vision – our expertise

Each project and each part is different. This is why the tools, injection moulding machines, peripheral components and automation need to be perfectly coordinated. We are your partner of choice – whether you are looking for an expert for complex turnkey requirements or production outsourcing. We ensure that your products are optimally manufactured at all times.

Full service

A steadfast and economical manufacturing process depends largely on the quality of the process components. Equally important is the coordination of the individual components. We will provide you with a broad range of know-how from the idea to series production.

Project outsourcing

You’ll find us an ideal partner when it comes to outsourcing your challenging production activities –from the moment production starts as well as on-demand. Years of experience, mature processes and an inventory of comprehensive and versatile machinery, together with our proprietary automated solutions, provide us with the tools we need to deliver flawless quality – not only within a short time frame but anytime and, naturally, on schedule. Ensuring the shortest possible reaction times, a vast range of possibilities and a highly motivated team mean flexibility and uncompromising quality.

Tool technology

Innovative solutions for every requirement

Over the past three decades, we have developed more than 1,600 injection moulding tools in the single and multi-component segment. As a result, we have gained extensive expertise when it comes to thermoplastics and tool technology. Our special strength lies in our problem-solving skills, paired with our high level of innovation and our use of the latest technologies.
