Fakuma 2026: mido Brings Intelligence to Mold Cost Calculation
From October 12 to 16, 2026, Friedrichshafen once again became a meeting point for the international plastics industry. The 30th Fakuma brought together trade visitors and companies from around the world to exchange ideas on the latest developments and innovative technologies in plastics processing. Teraport was also represented with its software solution mido, showcasing modern approaches to fast, transparent, and accurate mold cost calculation.
The focus was on practical insights into the capabilities of CAD-based cost calculation. Using real-world application examples, Teraport demonstrated how mido automatically identifies cost-relevant geometric features, supports mold configuration, and derives transparent cost structures. For companies in the tool and mold-making industry, the software offers the opportunity to significantly simplify complex calculation processes and establish a reliable basis for decision-making at an early stage.
“Companies in the tool and mold-making industry face increasing time and cost pressures. With mido, we demonstrate how even complex molds can be calculated quickly and transparently without compromising the necessary level of detail,” explains Philipp Hübner, Product Manager for mido at Teraport. “Direct interaction with trade visitors also provides us with valuable insights and suggestions for the ongoing development of our software.”
Beyond the technical capabilities, personal interaction was a key focus. Fakuma provided an ideal platform for exchanging ideas with industry experts, potential customers, and partners about current challenges and the increasing digitalization of the tool and mold-making industry.
