3D printing also opens up interesting possibilities for the production of forming shoulders
2C-forming shoulders (two components) consist of a 3D-printed body made of highly wear-resistant plastic and a stainless-steel insert that forms the forming edge. The combination of materials and manufacturing processes makes the difference:
- short delivery time
- proven forming geometry
- reduced weight
- can be used for all applications including food packaging
Examples:
Round forming shoulder
Rectangular forming shoulder
