2nd IPPT_TWINN Summer school on Advanced Technologies in Injection Molding gathered more than 25 participants

In the week from 10th to 13th September 2024 the 2nd IPPT_TWINN Summer school on Advanced Technologies in Injection Molding took place on the premises of Faculty of Polymer Technology in Slovenj Gradec (Slovenia).

More that 25 Early-stage researchers, Master's, and Ph.D. students together with lecturers was provided with the theoretical and practical session by the lecturers from the most reputable and competent European institutions (IWK Institut für Werkstofftechnik und Kunststoffverarbeitung, Aitiip Centro Tecnologico, Polymer Competence Center Leoben (PCCL), Budapest University of Technology and Economics - BME).

The event presented and demonstrated modern trends in injection molding processes, specifically on back film and foaming injection molding, water and gas assisted injection molding and rubber injection molding.

Thursday's part covered theoretical backgrounds regarding virtual simulation of injection molding process, with emphasis on material data determination need for the precise simulations.

During the summer school the participants also visited the local companies OPS Breznik and Gumarstvo Šrajner and Hella Saturnus Slovenia 𝗱.𝗼.𝗼. in Ljubljana.

The participants were also provided with a cultural program, a guided tour of city Slovenj Gradec.
