Rosti North America Opens Digital Innovation Lab
Rosti says its new lab will support injection molding and advance rapid prototyping.
Rosti North America, a division of global injection molder and contract manufacturer Rosti Group, opened a Digital Innovation Lab within the company’s Germantown, Wisconsin, manufacturing facility.
Created via an investment of $1.3 million, the latest facility joins sister labs in Asia and Europe. With this lab, Rosti says it can support 72-hour turnarounds for new concepts. Upon receipt of customers’ 3D product data and specifications, digital simulations are developed to model potential gating, cooling, distortion and cycle times.
These simulations inform the tooling process, and printed tool cavities and cores are developed using high-temperature resins. The moldings undergo optical laser scanning, providing full metrology reports within minutes, and they ready for physical testing within 72 hours. Headquartered in Malmö, Sweden, Rosti has 3,200 employees across 11 facilities in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
