Mold making Thorsten Michael has developed a process with which Surfaces made of lightweight Arpro Laser foam let it be designed in any way you like during foaming and injection up to a depth of 1,5 mm. This is made possible by the Lasertec Shape technology for laser cutting of foams, with which structures can be reproduced precisely in geometrically precisely defined 3D areas. Additional coatings or cladding can now also be superfluous.

Lasering Arpro foam

 

Also are Milling and laser cutting with just one machine possible. As a material solution, Arpro foams offer a multitude of advantages, from dimensional stability, durability and low weight to energy absorption, thermal insulation, resistance to heat and chemicals and noise insulation. Laser cutting is also extremely flexible and cost-effective because the number required Fasteners for assembly is reduced to a minimum. In addition, the material is 100% recyclable.

Laser foam for the automotive industry

Arpro is the foam for numerous applications in Automotive sector such as in the area of ​​passive safety protection through energy absorption, for side impact protection in door panels. But foam is also used in applications such as headrests and seat cores as well as seat and knee protection. But other components such as suitcase space equipment are also suitable for this laser processing. In addition, such foams or plastics are also used in new applications, for example in air conditioning, heating and ventilation technology or in the packaging and consumer goods industries.
