At Data 2 Patterns, we specialise in the precision machining of high-density foams, with particular expertise in cutting Rohacell® — a rigid, closed-cell polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam widely used in the aerospace and autosport industries. Known for its exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, thermal stability, and resistance to compression, Rohacell is an ideal core material in composite structures where performance and weight savings are critical. Our team has extensive experience producing accurate, reliable foam components that meet the demanding standards of high-performance sectors. In addition to Rohacell, we also machine Airex® and high-density polyurethane foams, offering a complete service for customers requiring lightweight, durable, and dimensionally stable tooling and components.

Up to 40t capability with thickness up to 2mm

Many materials exhibit different behaviors under various strain rates, i.e. they have strain rate dependent properties. Characterizing these dynamic properties across a wide range of velocities becomes very important in applications where components are exposed to high strain rates, especially on investigating material failure and also identifying the most optimal design for weight. High strain rate testing machines have helped industries to predict material behavior, which in turn helps the design of many components that are exposed to high strain rates during its life cycle. Whether it is in the landing gear on aircraft, the crash impact of a road vehicle or even the cord strings when a parachute is opened, all of these examples involve one or more components of a product that are subjected to high strain rate impact. These components require safety and industry standards to be met in order to compete in the industry. Therefore, a high strain rate testing machine with reliable operations and accurate data acquisition is essential in designing safe and functional products and verifying the validity of the computer simulation tools, e.g. car crash simulation.

Modern solid-state switches replace traditional high-voltage methods

The High Voltage Water Heater is an interior heater for heating water circuits in special-purpose vehicles (industrial use only). It consists of several tubular heating elements and has been validated according to automotive standards to meet highest safety requirements. Its integrated power electronics allows for individual control via LIN bus

The WKP 4 400 S is specifically designed for thermoforming and consolidation processes

Advanced software architecture and system integration solutions We specialize in complex software integration projects, including SCADA systems, manufacturing execution systems (MES), enterprise resource planning (ERP) integration, and advanced process control applications. Our solutions bridge the gap between operational technology and information technology.

Large 3D-printed equipment – a game changer in the automotive industry? Until now, equipment was mostly made of steel or aluminum – expensive, heavy, and often assembled from multiple parts. 3D printers were usually too small. But it doesn't have to be this way. Walter Automobiltechnik GmbH saves considerable costs by printing assembly fixtures and quality assurance tools up to one cubic meter in size. The result? Individual testing and assembly aids are now an integral part of quality assurance. Customized fixtures ensure greater efficiency and automated checks. But that's just the beginning! 3D printing opens up completely new possibilities. Whether tool holders, grippers, or practical workplace aids – engineer André Lenz uses the printer for clever solutions throughout the entire company. André Lenz explains: Our BigRep – Large-Format 3D Printers ONE enables us to produce large components – without great expense. A real game changer! For WAT, 3D printing is not a trend – but a lived reality and the future.

PTC Contact Heaters of the HP series are dynamic heating elements for precise heating of solids and liquid containers. They consist of a contacted PTC heating element pressed into an aluminum profile. The aluminum profile features a flat design and mounting holes on the outer profile surface which allows for flexible installation and optimum heat transfer. PTC Contact Heaters of the HP series are available in four versions with maximum surface temperatures ranging from 80°C to 200°C, suitable for a voltage range of 12 - 24V or 100 - 240V AC or DC (multi-voltage capable). PTC Contact Heaters come with all advantages of the PTC heating technology. Thanks to the PTC effect, the heating elements dynamically adjust their power without exceeding a maximum temperature. High operational reliability and energy efficiency without any additional switching elements.
