20 April 2016On 20 April 2016, Mr. Yung, the chief executive officer of the TK Group, Mr. Lu, the general manager of the mold plant, [Engineer Chao] and [Engineer An], the responsible persons of the technology department of both mold and plastic injection, undertook a site visit to the State Key Laboratory of Plastic Injection Mold of the School of Materials at Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Laboratory members, including academician Li Dequn, an academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering of the Key Laboratory and an instructor of doctorate students, Professor [Zhou Huamin], chief officer of the Key Laboratory and the Changjiang Scholar, and Dr. [Huang Zhigao], attached great importance to this communication and integration between the enterprise and academy.
They visited the common test platform of the laboratory, laboratory of smart molding and laboratory of 3D print and 3D measurement. Mr. Yung had high praise for the micro qualitative and quantitative analysis capacity of the laboratory equipment. He eagerly hoped that in the field of TK high-end plastic injection mold manufacturing and molding, the theoretical research and experimental test solutions of the key laboratory can help TK to break through technical bottlenecks during the technological research and development process. Both parties reviewed the previous cooperation regarding the secondary development of UG software, 3D print technology and smart molding. They also decided the future communication and cooperation in the following four fields: 1. Cooperation on the common test platform (for example, joint stretch stress test, metallographical structure test and material component test); 2. Cooperation on the research and development of flexible polishing unit (for example, joint development of plasma polishing technology, research and development cooperation on relevant technologies relating to the flexible polishing technology and expandable fields); 3. Cooperation on the research and development of 3D print technology, (for example, TK provides powder and Huazhong provides processing and research and development solutions, joint research and development and expansion of the field of application of the metal 3D conformal cooling technology in molds, including deformation control on products); 4. Development of visual identification technology for products (for example, launching of targeted research and development of visual identification technology focusing on TK’s product features to enhance TK’s quality inspection for its plastic injection products). Regarding the above fields, both parties specified the docking windows for the research and development in all fields.。
