100% thermoplastic sandwich – « Vacuum Bag Only » minimizes finishing work – greater lightweight design.

This panel is constructed from TP foam and two glass TP skins. The adhesion between the skin and core is ensured through vacuum bagging in the oven without the use of any adhesive film. The lay-up process is faster compared to thermoset prepreg, and the top surface quality eliminates the need for nearly all finishing operations before painting. With this concept, companies engaged in aircraft interiors manufacturing no longer need to invest in heavy and costly industrial equipment. Instead, they can gradually transition to thermoplastic solutions.

Carbon Polycarbonate Fire Resistant Hybrid Leg

Thanks to a hybrid process, the design of this part is optimized in terms of continuous fiber quantity. Beginning with thin organo-sheets, a 2D near-net shape preform is created through nesting, cutting, and welding organo-sheet patches. This preform is then stamped and over-injected to integrate functionalities at minimal cost. With this technology, waste is minimized, and mechanical properties are precisely tuned where necessary.
