At the beginning of March, the POLYLINE project was launched, bringing together 15 industrial and research partners from Germany to develop a next-generation digitalized production line. This is intended to be used to produce plastic components for the automotive industry.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Casting, Composite and Processing Technology IGCV brings to this project its many years of expertise in additive order processing. Within the framework of POLYLINE, scientists at the Augsburg Institute are developing a digital process chain for plastic components manufactured by using additives. In the area of component cleaning or finishing, the focus is on technical cleanliness. To this end, the Institute is developing cleaning process chains with which procedural gaps can be closed. In addition, resource efficiency and product quality can be increased by ensuring technical cleanliness.
