We mill complex components for you up to a size of 1600x 1600x 1400mm, using high-precision 3- and 5-axis as well as HSC technologies.

CNC-Fräsen

High-precision technology and fast delivery times Our experienced operators process various kinds of plastics on state-of-the-art 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC milling machines. To keep lead times down as much as possible, we also use robot technology with automated loading. This way, we make sure we always deliver good and consistent quality. Using our CNC milling machines, we produce prototypes, single items, and small and large series. Owing to the high level of automation, our products are less prone to errors and we can deliver quicker. From single items to large series Extensive experience with complex products Fast delivery thanks to largely automated production processes Less workpiece clamping and, therefore, less error prone We help you decide on the best possible result

High-precision machining according to individual customer requirements

Our milling/bending technology makes it possible to implement individual designs cost-effectively. With this high-precision and powerful process, we can also manufacture smaller quantities flexibly and quickly – without any additional tooling costs. Thanks to the wide range of materials, colors, and accessories, we can produce unique housings and plastic parts that are perfectly tailored to our customers' requirements.

Turning five into three: Until now, there used to be five different individual manufacturing steps necessary for the production of medical crimp claps. As part of the state-funded “MeKuMed” research project, Hofmann has worked with project partners to develop a more efficient production in three steps only. Decisive for this: The mould developed by Hofmann, including a handling system for time-saving and automated production. From pilot mould to automated series mould - In the first stage of tool development, Hofmann created a new forming punch with different polishes and coatings for an existing test injection mould of the Institute for Plastics Development. - Following, a pilot tool with a single mould cavity was then designed, manufactured and further optimized to develop the combined process. - Using the resulting findings on the process and mould design, we then constructed and manufactured the final 4-cavity mould. New production chain With the new production chain, the time and equipment requirements can be significantly reduced thanks to our injection moulding tool. This results in a more efficient production with higher quality and which is less prone to errors. New manufacturing process 1. Microstructuring, pre-damaging and cutting out the blanks using a laser by project partner Fraunhofer ILT: circular pre-damaging allows the aluminium to be precisely removed. The rubber stopper can then be pierced with a needle. 2. Forming the metal blank into a crimped cap, followed by injection moulding the plastic component within the combined mould from Hofmann.

Tool and mold making forms the foundation for high-quality plastics processing at SchoPlast. Using state-of-the-art CNC milling, wire EDM, and die-sinking EDM machines, as well as a comprehensive range of machinery, we manufacture precision tools for thermoset compression molding, thermoset injection molding, and thermoplastic injection molding. Our highly trained specialists combine years of experience with innovative technology, ensuring that every tool is precisely tailored to our customers; requirements. Continuous quality control and ISO 9001 certification guarantee consistently high precision, reliability, and durability of the manufactured molds. As an integral part of SchoPlast, toolmaking enables short communication channels, rapid adjustments, and optimal coordination between mold making and production. This results in cost-effective solutions that meet the highest standards, from prototypes to series production.

Teknor Apex Announces NEW Monprene® TPEs with 60% Post-Consumer Recycled Content, Reducing Carbon Footprint by up to 36% while maintaining translucency for vibrant colors

For small series, we assemble the components by hand; for medium quantities, semi-automatically; and for large volumes, of course, fully automated.
