💡 HoliMaker 𝗮̀ 𝗹’𝗜𝗨𝗧 𝗱𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝘇 Grâce à la collaboration entre HoliMaker et le département GMP de l’IUT de Metz, dirigé par Pierre PINO, les étudiantes et étudiants bénéficient d’un environnement d’apprentissage toujours plus innovant. L’intégration de la HoliPress38 aux équipements existants, comme le fabricant de filaments 3devo B.V., permet une approche pédagogique complète, du matériau brut au prototype fonctionnel. 🔗 Une synergie au service de la formation : cette initiative illustre l’importance des collaborations entre établissements académiques et acteurs industriels pour préparer les étudiantes et étudiants aux défis de demain. #Collaboration #Innovation #IUTMetz #HoliPress38 #FutureEngineers #HandsOnLearning #ManufacturingInnovation

🚀 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝟯𝟴 𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝗨𝗧 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝘇 Last week, HoliMaker visited the IUT de Metz (University Institute of Technology of Metz) to demonstrate the #HoliPress38 to students and staff in the Mechanical Engineering workshop. This visit wasn’t just about showcasing the HoliPress38—it was about exploring how it can integrate seamlessly with other machines to unlock new possibilities in manufacturing. The IUT de Metz recently added the HoliPress38 to its workshop, aiming to combine it with other equipment like the 3devo B.V. filament maker and more. This integration allows students to experience a holistic manufacturing process, from material preparation to final product testing. 𝗔 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁’𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 One of our interns, Jami, who is also an IUT Metz student, has been working with the HoliPress38 on a project at HoliMaker. During the visit, he presented a mould he designed and 3D-printed using Formlabs Grey V5 resin, demonstrating the machine’s capabilities. Jami shared, “The teachers were surprised at what could be achieved with the HoliPress. It’s not just about injection moulding—it’s about how the HoliPress can work alongside other machines. For example, we could create a tensile piece with the HoliPress and then test its strength using another machine. I love how these tools complement each other.” 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀-𝗢𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 The students and staff had the chance to inquire into the HoliPress38, asking questions about its assembly, maintenance, and cleaning processes. They even got to perform an injection using polypropylene (PP) to create carabiner prototypes—a practical demonstration of the machine’s ease of use and versatility. 𝗔 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 The HoliPress38 is a practical tool for hands-on learning and innovation. • 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹-𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: Students gain practical skills in plasturgy and manufacturing through supervised experiments. • 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲-𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀: By designing and producing their own prototypes, students are equipped with the knowledge and expertise needed in a rapidly evolving industry. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁? We’re excited to see how IUT de Metz continues to integrate the HoliPress38 into its curriculum, inspiring the next generation of engineers and innovators. If you’re an educational institution or business interested in exploring the potential of manual injection moulding, let’s connect! Together, we can shape the future of manufacturing. 💬 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙧𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙨-𝙤𝙣 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚?

🌱 𝗗𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀? Last week, we had the pleasure of speaking with Alberto De Maria, PhD from BioHalo, a Danish tech startup that spun out of the Technical University of Denmark. We delved into their groundbreaking work in bio-based polymers, the challenges and future of bioplastics, and the critical balance between environmental and economic sustainability. BioHalo is tackling one of the most pressing issues in materials science: finding sustainable alternatives to PFAS (per-fluorinated alkyl substances)—high-performance materials that are notoriously persistent in the environment. Their innovative approach uses bacteria to produce bio-based polymers, offering a promising solution that doesn’t compromise on performance while being easier to recycle or degrade. At Holimaker, we’ve worked with organizations like Floreon, Algenesis Labs, and Greenfib to advance bioplastics research and generate excellent parts. Using the HoliPress, we’ve performed injection tests on materials such as algae-based bioplastics, PA11, and PLA. These materials showed excellent results with our machines. We'll soon be injecting PHA from K.D. Feddersen Distribution (Sebastien Bressan). If you’re working on bioplastics and want to explore injection moulding with the HoliPress, we’d love to hear from you! 📩 Contact: • Drop us a message or email at contact@holimaker.fr. • Reach out to BioHalo via their LinkedIn page BioHalo. • Watch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/eUsmR8ec. 𝘈 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘉𝘪𝘰𝘏𝘢𝘭𝘰 BioHalo specializes in biohalogenic research, aiming to replace PFAS with sustainable alternatives that retain their high-performance characteristics. Their work recently earned them the Sustainability Prize at the JEC Startup Booster 2024—a testament to their impact in driving the green transition. The shift towards bioplastics is more urgent than ever, as traditional plastics continue to accumulate in landfills and oceans, harming ecosystems and human health. BioHalo’s focus on coatings and industrial compostability showcases how bioplastics can be engineered for specific lifespans, ensuring durability during use and biodegradability at end-of-life. Their biohaloginated polymers are available for R&D and product development activities; they are not final products yet. 🌍 The future of bioplastics is here, and it’s exciting to see innovations like BioHalo’s paving the way for a greener, circular economy. Let’s keep pushing for sustainable solutions together! #Sustainability #Bioplastics #Innovation #CircularEconomy #GreenTech
