Our customers gain access to a comprehensive portfolio of our extensive range of machinery and a variety of manufacturing technologies and materials. All you need is one strong partner - supplier consolidation, no more multiple contacts, and no more costly, time-consuming coordination. By partnering with iskra isd, you are no longer dependent on multiple suppliers for different technologies. Gain benefits from the flexibility and pro-activity of single-source solutions that enable highly complex and specialized hybrid product families. Our unique advantage is a fusion of technologies, processes, expertise and knowledge. With our unique process and know-how, we can design and produce the most innovative and cost-effective hybrid technologies of our time. Welcome to the new era of techno-fusion.
We are unique. As we’re blending the best 9 technologies of yesterday and tomorrow in 1 production line. We are proud of our 70-year tradition as one of the best European component developers and producers. But to enable you the best quality and performance all in one place, Iskra ISD has upgraded traditional technologies with the latest state-of-art machinery, and so today we can offer you a fully integrated production process with 9 advanced core technologies. We are internationally renowned for our innovative design solutions that enable achieving technically and economically feasible hybrid products. Our hybrid solutions result in smaller components, which offer more assembly space, fewer components and only one final assembly tolerance for the entire product. If you demand high-quality components with improved durability, reduced process costs and fewer components on a customer assembly line, Iskra ISD is the right partner for your business.

And we are here to help you develop the best solutions for them. From the sketch to the final product. Our design and engineering team offers comprehensive research and development for your product and assembly needs. We support our customers through our extensive experience and know-how in all development phases: from initial prototyping and product development to product optimisation and cost reduction of your components.
Moldflow simulations A STRONG NUMERICAL APPROACH GIVES US A HEADSTART ON IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY BECOME REALITY. Within our R&D department, we internally perform high-standard moldflow analyses for both plastic and aluminium components. The combined knowledge from both areas is crucial for the co-development or full development of hybrid solutions in the continually demanding automotive market. Our main advantage is our internal back-loop validation system, where every crucial simulation is also experimentally validated with our production process. Having a strong internal numerical approach is important not only for a modern, iterative and systematic product development process but also to minimise potential quality-related issues within the tool design stage. Plastic injection moulding Moldflow simulations for plastic injection moulding are performed in the latest version of Moldex3D, which is a specialised numerical tool generally used for reinforced technical plastics. We are primarily experienced with simulating technical plastics that are used “under-the-hood”; e.g. PA6, PA66, PA46, PPS, PBT, PP, TPE, TPU and other similar compounds. Additionally, we also internally perform moldflow analyses for thermosets but within a limited range due to the lack of high-quality material cards. Apart from runner and cooling channel design optimisation, we are generally focused on fibre orientation analysis, weld line quality control, entrapped air analysis, filling pattern uniformity and warpage reduction.
Aluminium HPDC Moldflow simulations for Aluminium HPDC are performed in the latest version of Magmasoft. We are primarily experienced with simulating alloys 226, 230, 231 and 239. Our main focus is the shot design optimisation and minimisation of quality related issues, such as gas and shrinkage porosity. Apart from the product and the overall shot design, we also conduct comprehensive analysis of the cooling channel layout and the general tool temperature management system, which is one of the main challenge points in production of HPDC parts.
Product prototyping THEORY WITHOUT EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION DOESN'T GET YOU VERY FAR, THEREFORE WE PUT STRONG EMPHASIS ON QUICK PROTOTYPING METHODS. Our general flexibility is not only limited to our production but is also implemented in our R&D approach. Since our primary focus is complex technical components that normally require an extensive numerical and experimental validation approach, we offer the design and production of prototype parts. For small scale prototype production, we can 3D print components by using our in-house Stratasys F170 3D printer that enables the use of ABS, PLA, ASA, TPE and other thermoplastics. Also, other prototype technologies can be outsourced (e.g. metal 3D printing) if agreed with the customer.
Product development HAVING A WIDE DESIGN-TO-MANUFACTURE BACKGROUND ENABLES US TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED DEVELOPMENT TIME OF DESIGNING NEW SOLUTIONS. Our main expertise comes from combining our internal production technologies. The accumulated know-how from the past 70+ years offers an excellent basis for customer-defined product development through our internal design-to-manufacture approach. Aside from Moldflow analyses for plastic and aluminium components that offer us great support during the design development and feasibility improvement loop, both internally and externally, we also perform other supporting numerical analyses that is crucial for mechanically loaded structural parts.
