In the frame of capacity building various capacity building events will be organized, where the staff at FTPO and the interested researchers from other organizations in Slovenia and the broader region will benefit from the training provided by internationally leading experts in the field of polymer processing.

A series of 18 workshops will be organized, which will provide the team of the coordinating institution with increased knowledge and expertise on various topics. The workshops will consist of a theoretical and practical part; therefore they will be (co)organized at the location(s) of the beneficiary and associated partner institution(s) which has/have the highest know how and latest equipment necessary for the topic of a specific workshop. All four beneficiaries and one associated partner will contribute to the topics with their experts and their young researchers will attend the workshops. The impact of the events will be maximised by online streaming of the activities.

17th IPPT_TWINN Workshop on Injection Overmolding

The two-day IPPT_TWINN workshop, which highlighted the latest trends and challenges in polymer processing, with a focus on overmolding technology, was successfully concluded on 25-26 February 2025 at the Department of Polymer Engineering of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). The participants were introduced to the theoretical and practical aspects of overmolding, including bonding mechanisms – from chemical to mechanical – and the key impact of material selection on the final product quality. Various overmolding technologies, such as multi-component injection molding, Core-back technology and sandwich technology, were also presented, providing a comprehensive overview of modern methods and their applications in industry. Special attention was paid to the role of simulation tools, such as Moldex3D, which enable process optimization and product quality improvement through accurate modeling. Despite the progress in this field, challenges remain in predicting complex phenomena such as air entrapment and hot spots, highlighting the need for further development and integration of experimental data. The workshop also served as a platform for discussing future research directions. The 17th IPPT_TWINN workshop also confirmed its role as a key event for disseminating and exchanging knowledge and promoting innovation in the field of polymer processing, with a focus on a future shaped by sustainable and efficient solutions.
