Technician Product Development Hub: Light, Micro & Smart Products

As a process technician specialising in plastic injection moulding at Sirris, I support companies from test preparation through to fine-tuning the injection moulding process. Drawing on my hands-on experience, I work on machine settings, polymer processing and troubleshooting defects in injection-moulded parts. I enjoy technical challenges that require analysing, testing and adjusting parameters until the right solution is found.

Do you have a question about plastic injection moulding, want to test a material, produce a prototype or optimise your process? I would be happy to put my practical experience to work on your project.
