Why thermoplastic fiber composites?

Metals and plastics often only partially meet the performance requirements in high-performance applications. In mechanical engineering in particular, the most adverse pressure and temperature conditions pose major challenges for developers and engineers when selecting materials for their components.

Thermoplastic fiber composites combine the best material properties of both material groups and impress in mechanical systems and subsystems with high performance under the most adverse conditions.

Application-oriented compression molding processes (e.g. x-Technologies from CrossTEQ) enable the design of a specific fiber architecture and the targeted use of material properties (strength and stiffness).

Due to its outstanding properties, thermoplastic fiber composites outlast even the harshest pressure and temperature conditions.

Thanks to the high degree of automation in thermoplastic  Compression Molding process and the high level of functional integration, the number of components and thus the production costs are reduced to a minimum.

Application-specific Composite Compression Molding  technologies enable automated, cost-optimized mass production of simple to geometric complex features and 3D structures.
