Abstract

Continuous fibre-reinforced thermoplastic com-posites exhibit high stiffness at low weight. Us-ing unidirectional fiber reinforced (UD) tapes in the process chain of cutting, laying, consolida-tion and hot-forming can lead to complex shaped components. The result is a good com-promise in terms of mechanical properties and economical production. The consolidation of the fabrics into 3D components in closed molds and the functionalization, e.g. stiffeners or mounting brackets, in the injection molding process ena-ble the efficient production of lightweight struc-tures in large series.
