Cleanroom-quality membrane filters for the highest demands.

The new "Mermaid Effect" project presents an exclusive multi-colored selection of high-quality color changing effects - also known as interference effects. The particularly elegant and luxurious colors create a breathtaking color contrast that allows the viewer to change his or her visual impression depending on the viewing angle and the incidence of light. Believe in the magic of color – Mermaid Effect Hardly any other figure is as beautiful and enchanting as the mermaid. Generations of sailors have dreamed of a girl with a dazzling fishtail. Even today the mythical creatures fascinate us with their shimmering and iridescent colors. Adapted to the magnificent colors of a mermaid's fin, the GRAFE-DESIGN-CENTER presents eight different flop effects, which are characterized by their special color brilliance and a strong color change.

MIM technology for the series manufacturing of your complex metal parts. In the MIM process metal powder is mixed with polymer binder. This so-called "feedstock" is injection moulded on a conventional injection moulding machine. The result is a "green part", consisting of 60 vol% metal powder and 40 vol% binder (polymers and waxes). After injection moudling the main binder component is removed in a debinding step and sintered to >97% of the corresponding material density. During the sintering step the part shrinks as it can be observed in the picture above. With this innovative technology complex parts with tiny structures can be manufactured in high quantities. Just contact us, we support you in optimizing your parts with our technology.

Hybrid parts, made of plastics and metal(s) rarely get recycled and if they do, then generally for their metal content. The plastic get wasted. MKV is installing a new production line, ready at the beginning of 2026 to reclaim those plastics. You want to reduce your waste, save ressources and save money, then get in touch with MKV! We are happy to help! Leadership in high quality recycling!

Precision down to the smallest detail! Plastechnik AG can look back on many years of experience in the injection moulding of small parts and micro injection moulding. From small series to several million parts per year, we produce micro injection moulded parts of the highest quality from our own moulds with up to 64 cavities according to customer requirements.

The starting point - Design follows process A cerumen filter that can be replaced independently by the user increases the service life and acoustic performance of modern hearing aids. The objective was to develop a filter system suitable for fully automated manufacturing - cost-effective, precise and ready for series production. The filter, smaller than a grain of granulate, is manufactured using micro injection moulding and stands out due to its filigree design and long service life. The Challenge - Bringing the smallest of parts into full-size view Implementation placed the highest demands on mould making, automation and the handling of micro components. Particularly challenging were reliable gripping, singulation and inspection of the filters within the defined cycle time. The process was complemented by camera-based inspection, laser micrometer technology and laser marking of the packaging. Tight delivery schedules as well as material changes - including the switch to glass-fiber-reinforced POM - further increased complexity. The Approach - Perfectly combined An interdisciplinary team from mould making, robotics and injection moulding developed an end-to-end production concept, ranging from feasibility studies and design optimization to VR simulation and the parallel implementation of tooling and automation. Quality assurance was carried out continuously using sample-based CT measurements. The Results - A world of sound Despite a fixed series launch date and ongoing material and design adjustments, the project was successfully realized together with the customer. The high time pressure required the parallel implementation of two production lines - both went into series production on schedule. Today, the cerumen filter system runs fully automated and reliably in production. It exemplifies the successful combination of micro injection molding, high-precision automation and close development partnership.
