✓ With strong + lightweight preforms made from fiber strands
✓ exactly where you need the structural performance
✓ with a fiber orientation that supports the force curves of your product or component.
Your customers place high demands on the performance and durability of your products or components made of plastic, SMC material or concrete. They require targeted structural reinforcement that is rigid, lightweight and cost-effective. Compared to conventional fiber reinforcements, e.g. carbon or glass fiber fabrics, textile preforms score points with the economical production of complex reinforcements. Due to the near-net-shape fiber installation, there is hardly any waste and you also save on material costs.
Our semi-finished textile products are suitable as reinforcing fibers for all products made of plastic, SMC material or concrete. They impress with their outstanding textile, thermal, mechanical and optical properties.
No matter what challenge you are currently facing with your product or component, let us work together to find a way to optimize your production.
Together we develop the right combination of carrier material, fiber or fiber mix, fiber orientation and contour of the reinforcement structure (preform) for further processing in your component or product. Right from the start, we pay attention to the cost-efficient production of your semi-finished products.
Our fiber preforms and functional elements are suitable for further processing with these
thermosetting processes:
thermoplastic processes:
For your specific application, we find the right fiber or fiber combination that offers the required material properties for your textile preform. Combine different lightweight fibers with each other or with metal fibers to create hybrid structures. Your product and your application determine the right mix of materials.
We will be happy to advise you personally!
Replace braided, woven or knitted material with embroidered fiber preforms for reinforcement. Save time, weight and material costs and increase the performance of your products!
Carbon preforms produced using tailored fiber placement offer you considerable advantages in terms of precision, weight reduction, shape flexibility and adaptability compared to conventional carbon fiber fabrics, carbon grids or carbon fiber mats.
TFP is a pioneering technology in the production of composite materials.
Aramid preforms produced using TFP are more precise, lighter, more adaptable and better performing than conventional aramid or Kevlar fabrics.
These advantages make tailored fiber placement an advanced technology in the production of composite materials for demanding technical applications.
Preforms made of glass fiber with TFP score points with more precise fiber laying, more complex shapes, higher strength and better material utilization compared to conventional glass fiber fabrics, glass fiber mats and glass fiber fabrics.
With tailored fiber placement, your components meet the high requirements of demanding technical applications.
We manufacture complex preforms for you, which you can integrate into your production in just one step. The shape, fiber arrangement and layer pattern are already integrated in the supplied semi-finished product. Save production time for cutting your reinforcement fabric and reduce sources of error in the production process of your components or products. Replace many production steps with one preform.
We embroider carbon and glass fibers on flexible carrier materials using modern CNC embroidery machines. This creates fiber preforms that you can process further in your thermoset or thermoplastic processes. Tailored fiber placement by means of technical embroidery scores above all with its near-net-shape production, which results in only 3 % fiber rejects or waste.
