Formwork & Scaffolding

From 2014, during spare time, I occasionally work as a consultant for the design and manufacture of injection moulded products and their moulds, exclusively in fields other than construction. > I help customers “to make it right first”: providing consultancy how to properly design plastic parts and their moulds to minimize defects and get a stable production process, resulting in shorter time-to-market and money savings.
