PLASTON x GOLLMER x SIMCON
One Adapter to Stack Them All
An innovative product Hybrid Adapter Plate, developed by Swiss company PLASTON, realized the possibility of stacking boxes securely cross vendors. Dimensionally precise, beautiful, and cost-effective were the significant criteria to be fulfilled. To finalize and manufacture the mold, PLASTON collaborated with GOLLMER Formen and initiated an early-stage simulation with SIMCON’s novel tool VARIMOS rapid variant analysis to optimize the Hybrid Adapter Plate.
Warpage was one of the main challenges in the Hybrid Adapter Plate development project. GOLLMER took the advantage of SIMCON's solution VARIMOS and reached a significant achievement by two steps. The first trial of adjusting the injection parameters, which was considered as the most convenient way for modification without touching the mold, had limited improvement. Thus, the launch of second trial by precisely varying the wall thickness brought a great success.
