Plastics Memo Challenge

Plastics Memo Challenge is the name of a game that is available for free download from the Android Play Store.
The game gets young people excited about plastics technology and imparts knowledge in a playful way.

In the game, digital cards are revealed with images of the injection molding process, extrusion, and so on.
For each pair found, information and details can be displayed through the direct link to the glossary.

The game was created with the support of PLEXPERT Studios.

Plastics testing

This term refers to a systematic examination of the physical, mechanical, thermal and chemical properties of plastics.
This makes it possible to assess their quality and suitability for specific applications. The most important test methods include tensile, compression and bending tests, hardness tests, impact strength tests and thermal analyses such as DSC and TGA. These tests help to precisely characterize the material properties and ensure that plastics meet the requirements of their subsequent application. The results of plastics testing are crucial for the selection of suitable materials and the development of new plastic products. They also enable quality control in production and the verification of material conformity in accordance with norms and standards. Plastics testing therefore makes a significant contribution to the safety, functionality and durability of plastic products.

Platen

In the injection molding machine, there are two platens, which belong to the clamping unit.
One is on the injection side and the other one on the ejection side, latter is movable mounted.
The mold is attached at the platens over the existing drill-holes by the means of fastening screws, mounting clutch or quick release systems.

PLEXPERT

A group of experts in the plastic industry founded the company PLEXPERT, 2006 in Germany, in order to save resources, providing a positive impact on budget and environment.
There are two divisions within the company. One is focusing on finite element simulations (FEM) like injection molding simulation and structural analysis.
Based on decades of practical experience DFM conform results are given by the consultant service of PLEXPERT to decrease part costs and increase quality in the production of plastic parts.
The second division is focused on the development and supply of soft- and hardware to the plastic industry. With the state of the art products PLEXPERT contributes to secure production and reduce the need of precious resources.
Today PLEXPERT has offices in Canada, Germany, Thailand and China in order to support its customers fast and effectively.
Due to a close network of plastic experts, partners are available in many other countries as well and offer PLEXPERT products and services.
