RocTool grants a 3 years Cage System® license to CROMEP (Ecole des Mines d'Albi - France).

This exclusive development license is valid for university research in France and for aerospace applications. The main purpose of this agreement is for CROMEP to investigate and demonstrate that the Cage System® technology, a mould surface heating technology by induction, can reduce production cycle times for thermoset and thermoplastic moulding, especially for aerospace applications.

Dedienne Plasturgie and RocTool – First Cage System® licence in France

The Group Dedienne Plasturgie and the company RocTool have signed a licence agreement for the Cage System® procedure, the moulding technology by induction.

The two companies agreed on a phase of industrial development before the use of the technology in production for commercial applications. The developments will be done in the injection fields, RTM and thermo compression of Thermoplastic composites.
The principal markets concerned are transport, aircraft industries and sports and leisure.

RocTool, a company who specialises in innovative moulding technologies propose development and production licenses. The main technology is the Cage System®, which heats the tool surface by induction.

After several licences in North America, Europe and Asia, this license agreement with the Group Dedienne Plasturgie is the first licence in France.

The Group Dedienne Plasturgie specialises in manufacturing of technical plastic and cosmetic parts of small and very large amounts primarily for the aircraft industries, automotive, electric, electronic, defence, luxury, medical and telecommunications, in particular using high performance polymers, for which Dedienne Plasturgie constitutes to be one of the very first European specialists.
Chairman and Managing Director of Dedienne Plasturgie says “This agreement develops Multiplasturgy® towards new applications and consolidates its strategy of innovation while reinforcing its technology package to transform composite materials and high performance polymers”.
