TCTech’s operations and customer value proposition are based on its unique and patented methods of forming plastics and other materials with induction heated tools and active and rapid heating/cooling cycles. The processes - thermal cyclic moulding and thermal cyclic pressing - give advantages like shorter cycle times, reduced tonnage requirements and unrivalled pattern replication.
The technologies can also be used to mould and press materials in three-dimensional shapes and patterns of miniscule sizes - nanostructures. These nanostructures can be formed to give them “intelligent” characteristics and virtually endless application areas.
"Acrylic’s remarkable optical qualities are left virtually unaffected by Thermal Cyclic Molding which offers the added advantage of minimizing material sink, a problem found with conventional injection molding and casting." (Microsoft)
INTELLIGENT PLASTIC NANOSTRUCTURES Intelligent plastic nanostructures are materials that have been formed through TCTech’s patented thermal cyclic technologies (thermal cyclic moulding or thermal cyclic pressing). In addition, they have been formed in 3-D shapes and intricate patterns of miniscule sizes, even nanostructures. Nanostructures are objects of molecular/microscopic sizes, unvisible to the naked eye. LEARN MORE ABOUT INTELLIGENT PLASTIC NANOSTRUCTURES » THERMAL CYCLIC MOULDING Thermal Cyclic Moulding (TCM) is a process developed and patented by TCTech whereby plastic and other materials are moulded (formed through rapid heating and cooling). The material is moulded by induction heated tools with an active and rapid heating/cooling cycle, allowing the use of thermally “fast” mould materials. LEARN MORE ABOUT THERMAL CYCLIC MOULDING » THERMAL CYCLIC PRESSING Thermal Cyclic Pressing (TCP) is a process in which surfaces in solid materials are pressed (embossed) by a thermal cyclic tool part, normally on a fairly flat and already moulded or extruded part that needs an intelligent structure.
