Hybrid carbon fibre architectures for high performance, high volume applications

The interest in compression moulded discontinuous carbon fibre compounds is growing for semi-structural automotive applications, with target Takt times of less than 5 minutes. The main advantage of these compounds, such as sheet moulding compounds (SMC), is that they produce complex 3D geometries by...
