Foliengieß- und Schlitzdüsen-Verfahren 2026
Das zweitägige Seminar vermittelt praxisnah die Grundlagen des Foliengieß- und Schlitzdüsenverfahrens sowie die Weiterverarbeitung von Grünfolien zu mehrlagigen Strukturen. Behandelt werden Materialkomponenten, Prozessabläufe, Strömungs- und Trocknungsvorgänge sowie die Eigenschaften der Grünfolien und deren Einfluss auf nachfolgende Schritte. Praktische Übungen und Anwendungsbeispiele zeigen das Potenzial der Verfahren. Anwendungen reichen von elektronischen Bauteilen bis zu 3D-Strukturen. Das DKG-Fortbildungsseminar findet am Fraunhofer IKTS in Hermsdorf unter der Leitung von Beate Capraro statt.
