They place high demands on the performance and longevity of your Plastic products – Thermoplastics (polypropylene (PP), PEEK, polyamide 6 (PA6)) and thermosets (polyester resins, epoxy resins, silicones) – SMC material (mixture of reactive resins and glass fibers) or Betonboorder.
Conventional manufacturing methods are reaching their limits in the Complexity of your components Reaching its limits? Tailored Fiber Placement creates complex shapes and structures without time-consuming processing steps or assembly processes.
Their applications require special mechanical or structural properties, which are difficult to achieve with conventional manufacturing methods? With Tailored Fiber Placement We will place a specific combination of fibers for you precisely so that the components meet your requirements.
They develop or optimize Materials for high-performance applicationsDo you need components that are extremely lightweight yet extremely stiff and tensile? With Tailored Fiber Placement, we maximize the strength of your components while minimizing weight.
Tailored Fiber Placement opens up completely new possibilities for your products!
Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP) is a process for manufacturing textile preforms from fiber strands. Our CNC embroidery machines lay fiber strands (also called rovings) made of carbon, glass fiber, aramid, and other fibers onto flexible carrier materials. We individually align the fiber orientation to the stress distributions in your product. Between stitches, the embroidery machines move the carrier material and stitch the fibers in the optimal fiber orientation. We can also easily integrate functional threads, sensors, wires, or heating conductors of any shape into your fiber preforms during fiber placement. This process is also known as roving laying.
Cost-efficient manufacturing of complex preforms, textile sensors and heating elements
Production of complex patterns, layers, or arrangements of fibers for pinpoint reinforcement
Lightweight fibers and carrier materials, but high stiffness through optimal alignment
Individual combination of lightweight fibers (carbon, glass fiber, aramid, basalt, …) and metals
Seamless integration of heating wires or sensor threads into fiber structures
Manufacturing with high repeatability in small and large series.
If you place particular emphasis on the sustainability of your products, use natural fibers instead of carbon or fiberglass. Plant fibers such as flax, hemp, or jute are also suitable as rovings for tailored fiber placement. As renewable resources, they score points compared to conventional fibers in terms of their environmental friendliness. biodegradable, very easy and biocompatibleNatural fibers also offer you complete design freedom.
Sustainability is an important value in our company.
TFP Technology is your manufacturer of textile preforms, electric heating elements, and sensor mats, based in Falkenstein in the Vogtland region of Saxony. The Vogtland has always been an important center of the German textile industry. Locally, we find skilled professionals for our technical embroidery, the foundation of our Tailored Fiber Placement. With experienced and motivated employees from the region, we develop and produce the highest quality products "Made in Germany."
Together with you, we develop custom preforms, heating elements, and sensor mats precisely tailored to your products. A young and dynamic team of qualified personnel will provide expert support from your initial inquiry or idea, through layout development and prototype implementation, all the way to series production.
We guarantee flexibility and the shortest possible response times. Your satisfaction is our highest priority!
