Résumé : |
Plastics reinforced with continuous fibers were long considered a cost driver because the processing technologies did not support large quantities. Thanks to thermoplastic matrix materials in combination with new semi-finished goods and processing methods, this material class is now coming very close to industrialization. |
Note de contenu : |
- From economic efficiency to industrialization
- Component optimization reduces production costs
- Material base with great cost reduction potential
- Flexible semi-finished goods for high loads
- Lighweight construction in technical applications
- Production of individual tape laminates
- Fig. 1 : This illustration shows three qualitative measures for production cost reduction via the cost of materials, and the weighting of the respective influence
- Fig. 2 : In addition to weight advantages, cost reduction potential in large series can also be realized through function integration. Both the pass-through for the Landrover Discovery and the door modules support lightweight construction for large quantities with cost advantages
- Fig. 3 : For weight and cost-efficient lightweight construction, the mechanical properties of the brake pedal can be adapted through local reinforcement with tapes
- Fig. 4 : PrePro 2D system for the production of tailored blanks using direct consolidation of thermoplastic tapes with infrared radiation
- Fig. 5 : Airborne system concept for manufacturing individual laminates based on UD tapes, suitable for large series
- Fig. 6 : Prototype system for manufacturing direct-consolidated tailored blanks at the Aachen Center for Integrative Lightweight Production (AZL) |
