The 3rd KraussMaffei Intelligent Bathroom Forum and the 1st Precision Injection Molding Innovation Forum Concluded Successfully

On September 23, 2025, the "3rd KraussMaffei Smart Sanitary Forum and the 1st Precision Injection Molding Innovation Forum," co-hosted by KraussMaffei and Ringier Industrial Media, was successfully held in Xiamen. The forum brought together over a hundred guests from industry associations, universities, industrial chain enterprises, and research institutions to engage in in-depth exchanges on cutting-edge technologies, market trends, and innovation paths in smart sanitary ware and precision injection molding, collectively contributing to the industry's advancement."High-end, green, intelligent"Move forward in that direction.

The forum focuses on the deep integration of smart sanitary ware and precision injection molding, aiming to explore cutting-edge technologies, interpret market trends, and uncover innovative opportunities. It invites experts and scholars from upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry chain, research institutes, and industry associations to deeply discuss the advanced manufacturing processes and frontier applications of rubber and plastic materials in the sanitary ware industry. During the forum, Liu Yamin, Senior Engineer at the National Building and Sanitary Ceramics Testing Key Laboratory; Chen Dong, Secretary-General of the Zhejiang Province Plastic Machinery Industry Association; Dr. Wu Fei from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Dr. Yu Shengrui from Jingdezhen Ceramic University; along with experts from companies such as KraussMaffei, Elkem Silicones, Haiqiaotian Intelligent Equipment, Suzhou Minting Environmental Protection Technology, Zhongshan Zhenghe Color Resources, and Xiamen Yingfeng Technology, shared insights from multiple dimensions including innovative materials, advanced technologies, and the current market status of smart sanitary ware, injecting new ideas into the industry.

KraussMaffei China's injection molding application technology experts Yang Kai and Li Weijun gave brilliant presentations on the topics of "ColorForm In-Mold Painting: Empowering the Aesthetic and Quality Leap of Smart Sanitary Ware" and "Precision in Plastics, Empowering High-Quality Intelligent Manufacturing" at the event.

With the advancement of product intelligence, the bathroom industry is seeing an increasing demand for high-quality appearances. KraussMaffei has introduced the ColorForm in-mold painting technology, widely used in the automotive sector, into this industry. This brings an innovative production solution to bathroom products that is efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective. The technology integrates injection molding with polyurethane processes, enabling high gloss, multi-texture, and rich color surface effects, along with self-healing capabilities where minor scratches can automatically heal at room temperature or be easily removed through heating. It is particularly suitable for components like smart toilet lids and control panels that require scratch resistance and aesthetic appeal. The core of ColorForm technology is "one surface, three effects—high gloss, multi-effect, microstructure," breaking the limitations of traditional single surfaces, and providing products with enhanced layering, functional integration, and brand recognition. This aids the bathroom industry in advancing towards more precision, intelligence, and sustainability.

KraussMaffei, leveraging its global advantages and local innovations, demonstrates unique competitiveness in the field of precision injection molding. Precision injection products are characterized by their small size, high precision, and high repeatability, which necessitate addressing challenges such as the amplification of microscopic fluctuations, multi-parameter coupling effects, and ultra-high repeatability requirements during the processing. To meet these demands, KraussMaffei offers the PX series all-electric precision injection molding machines, providing a comprehensive solution from equipment to process. This equipment is precise, efficient, and intelligent, equipped with advanced features such as a precise servo-electric ejector, an efficient servo drive system, and a five-point double toggle system. The special design of the screw and non-return valve ensures good adaptability to different materials and applications. Moreover, the APCplus adaptive process control system can enhance product stability.

KraussMaffei looks forward to working hand in hand with partners, driving innovation through core technologies such as precision injection molding, and jointly leading the smart bathroom industry to new heights, achieving the beauty of a perfect life.
