Automotive
Sustainability and electrification drive the demand for lighter vehicles. However, adoption of composites remains low due to the design-to-cost philosophy of the sector.
iCOMAT is changing this.
Example application: Hybrid BiW structure
SMC* + UD** reinforcements
Carbon
SMCa + UDb reinforcements
Glass
SMC + UD reinforcements
* Sheet Mould Compound
** Unidirectional
Accelerating performance
Our cutting-edge solutions enable the production of lighter components featuring complex geometries and load paths.
Fibre steering opens up the design space unlocking advanced functionalities such as aeroelastic tailoring which are a game-changer against the competition in Motorsport.
Driving down cost
Lighter vehicles use less material and have a greater range. Placing material only where needed with RTS improves a vehicle’s cost cycle, from production to ownership.
Our smart deposition system reduces material waste to almost zero.
As a fully automated process, high production rates are possible with minimal human intervention.
Designing for sustainability
RTS hybrid designs combine recycled composites in UD and discontinuous formats increasing performance without compromise.
Composites made from sustainable fibres and bio-resins are processed to further minimise carbon footprint.
We produce near-net-shape preforms, reducing waste to the bare minimum.
