The Idea of Pro4Plast and Collective Research Project Structure What is the Value added of the Project? How will it be achieved?
Pro4Plast, contract number COLL-CT-2006-030205 3
The Idea of Pro4Plast is...
to improve the competitiveness of EU plastic injection moulding and tooling SME by…
cutting their time to market by 50% and reducing their production costs by 30% by…
“developing a new product development guidance system for complex injection moulded plastic parts by enhanced injection
moulding simulation and material data measurement applicable by SMEs”
Pro4Plast, contract number COLL-CT-2006-030205 4
What is Collective Research?
On behalf of IAGs and SMEs leading research institutes improve the knowledge base and level of competitiveness of European SMEs
It addresses large communities of SMEs with capacity to innovate but with limited research capability
An SME core group is crucial for each project
Intellectual property rights belonging exclusively to the IAGs

The Relevance of Pro4Plast
European plastic injection and mould making industry: 1.5 mil employees, annual revenue of EUR 150 bil, average annual growth of around 5%
OEMs have powerful position towards their suppliers (SMEs)
These SMEs are mainly using trial and error methods – but this can be offered cheaper in China
EU plastic business is losing an estimated 5% to low income non-European markets per year !!
An essential EU industry is facing a severe structural threat
