Hummel-Formen GmbH specialises in the manufacture of large-scale moulds for injection tools used in the production of plastic parts that are required primarily for engine-related applications
Hummel-Formen has filed a patent for the so-called "JointMelt method", as part of which the two production steps usually required can be combined within a single manufacturing process. The plastic components are joined directly within the injection mold by using the hot gas welding method.
