The international cooperation network INMOLDNET combines Polish and German expertise to develop and manufacture high-end components in a highly efficient manner. The products are applied directly at their destination without further subsequent processes, thus securing European development and production sites.

The thematic scope includes:
- intelligent solutions for highly functionalized plastic products,
- novel, highly functionalized hybrid components,
- Special Injection Molding Technology,
- self-learning and networked development tool.

The network INMOLDNET bundles the know-how of five Polish and 18 German research and industry partners in the following fields of competence:

• Component design and calculation
• Process planning and simulation
• Assembly and joining technology
• Tool and mould making
• Plant construction
• Drive and control technology
• Manufacturing and production
• Contacts, sensors and actuators
• IT, Digital Twins, Industry 4.0, (AI)
• Quality assurance
• Recycling, resource management

The network is coordinated on the German side by the Cetex Institut gGmbH and on the Polish side by the Bydgoszcz Industrial Cluster.

The project is implemented under Zentrales Innovationsprogramm Mittelstand (Central Innovation Programme for SMEs) – a funding programme of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy that aims to foster the innovative capacity of SMEs.
