Meet The Team | Akmal Karlsson | Process Manager

I joined TC TECH as a process engineer, aiming to deepen my expertise in machine construction and design. The fascinating physics at the heart of our processes and technology has driven my curiosity, leading me to broaden my scope and responsibilities. Now, I’m engaged in process development, product design, software development, and simulations across electromagnetic and mechanical domains. Additionally, I contribute to customer technical support, on-site installations, training and troubleshooting.

In the TCP 170 system, our main technical challenge revolves around optimizing our system and support to our customers in achieving an efficient production process, while maintaining the perfect replication inherent in the TCP system. Addressing these challenges is rewarding, and maintaining close communication with our customers is essential to grasp the complexities of their production environments. Our approach involves continuously working on, refining, and iterating solution to align closely with our customers’ needs.

Customers choose our system for its unparalleled ‘rapid hot embossing’ capability, serving unique needs in markets like optical films and microfluidics. Our process excels in pattern replication and feature critical dimensions, outperforming industry standards. It simplifies operations by eliminating the need for additional chemistry in pre- or post-processing. Users need only a single material layer to emboss any desired pattern on one or both sides of the substrate, offering exceptional versatility and quality.

Innovation requires both mastery and creativity, thus creating an innovative business climate is really a question about how to create an environment where employees have creative outlets or are openly involved in creative ideation and problem-solving. To support mastery, establishing a robust shared knowledge base is critical, ideally one that is multi-modal to cater to different learning styles. This approach enhances skill development and also cultivates a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
