Strong interest in mido at Moldplas 2025

/in /by

The Moldplas 2025 trade fair, one of Portugal’s most significant industrial events, took place from 13 to 15 November at Exposalão in Batalha (Leiria) and attracted more than 15,000 professional visitors. With over 250 exhibiting companies and dedicated areas such as 3D Additive Expo, i4.0 Expo and Subcontracting, the event provided a broad view of current technological developments and digital production trends.

Rather than focusing on a traditional product demonstration, Teraport engaged directly with visitors and presented mido through concrete application scenarios. It quickly became clear how precisely the software analyses CAD models and translates them into transparent, consistent tool cost calculations. This practical approach resonated strongly, especially within the Portuguese tool and moldmaking sector, known for its agility and strong industrial drive.

“Many discussions at Moldplas showed how important fast and transparent tool cost evaluation is for Portuguese industrial companies,” explains Philipp Hübner, Product Manager for mido. “With mido, we demonstrated live how easily complex CAD geometries can be analysed and turned into reliable cost structures.”

Visitors particularly appreciated the short calculation times and structured reports that make mido a trusted tool in early development phases. The fair also offered valuable opportunities to connect with moldmakers and manufacturing companies from the Leiria region – one of Portugal’s most dynamic industrial hubs.

“Moldplas clearly highlighted the momentum within the Portuguese tool and moldmaking industry,” emphasizes Raphael Heilig, Managing Director of Teraport GmbH. “mido enables companies to achieve greater process stability and maintain transparent cost control – essential qualities in a rapidly evolving, digitally oriented market.”

With its strong presence at Moldplas 2025, Teraport strengthens its footprint in Portugal and reinforces its role as a reliable partner for companies aiming to modernise and safeguard their costing processes.

Teraport impresses at K-Show with mido

The K-Show 2025 in Düsseldorf, the world’s leading trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry, opened its doors from 8 to 15 October. International exhibitors showcased innovations across the entire value chain, while visitors from engineering, procurement and production used the event to explore modern technologies and practical solutions.

In this professional setting, Teraport presented its software solution mido through compact live demonstrations. These showcased how mido identifies cost-relevant parameters directly from 3D CAD models and supports rule-based tool configuration. This gives companies clear and reliable cost transparency early in the development process.

“Our customers tell us that mido gives them a completely new level of confidence in early cost estimation. At K-Show, we were able to demonstrate this benefit very clearly using practical examples,” explains Philipp Hübner, Product Manager for mido.

Visitor interest was high. Particularly appreciated were the short calculation times, the intuitive operation and the clearly structured reports, which provide a reliable basis for tool design. “K-Show has shown how strong the demand is for reliable and fast tool cost calculation,” adds Raphael Heilig, Managing Director of Teraport GmbH. “mido enables companies to achieve significantly higher process stability and transparent cost control.”

With its successful appearance, Teraport reinforces its role as a dependable partner for tool and mold making – offering digital solutions that provide real security, clear structures and measurable added value.

“Pushing the Limits” – Teraport Demonstrates Hands-On Innovation with veo

Innovative Approaches to Casting Development and Procurement
At the Aalen Foundry Colloquium 2025, Teraport GmbH delivered a widely acclaimed presentation on practical optimization opportunities across the entire cast part process chain—from development and procurement to sales. Under the title “There’s more to it!”, Dr. Stefan Wittmann, Product Manager for veo and Head of Algorithm Development at Teraport, demonstrated how early virtual analyses (termed veo quality gates) can significantly boost efficiency.
The presentation showcased a real-world project: the development of a housing for the pneumatic control of a dual-clutch transmission. Using this case, typical weaknesses—such as material accumulations and unfavorable wall thicknesses—were identified and optimized using Teraport’s in-house software solution, veo.
“Our quality gates enable us to detect problematic geometries early and resolve them efficiently—before costly correction loops become necessary,” Wittmann explained.
The economic aspect was also a key focus. In conjunction with mido, Teraport’s tool for automated tooling cost estimation, the company can provide reliable early-stage insights into costs, tool concepts, and production timelines.
“This creates transparency and a sound decision-making basis for both purchasing and sales—ensuring all project stakeholders are on equal footing,” Wittmann added.
Once again, Teraport underscored that modern casting development demands more than theoretical approaches—it requires tools that are practical, efficient, and economically viable.
