A continuous process to consolidate
thermoplastic composites
Traditional layups
Film-Stacking & Prepreg method
Thermoplastic films with fiber fabrics (Film-Stack)
Unidirectional fiber pre-impregnated with matrix (UD-Tape)
Hybrid fabrics (Twintex)
Direct injection
Direct injection method of the matrix
Direct melt injection between fiber fabrics (Direct melt injection)
Flat panel
Primary production of semi-finished products (organic sheets) for further processing by thermoforming processes.
Forming can also be combined with injection molding processes, resulting in a high degree of automation.
Profile production possible.
Profiles
Primary production of long profiles with continuous, curved or varying cross section in a continuous process.
Plate production possible.
