ADVANTAGES
COMPLEX MOLDING WITH FORGED COMPOSITES®

Forged Composites® technology is perfect for creating complex forms with undercuts.

Combined molds: mold and matched mold

High-quality steel and surface finish

Automatic removal systems

Multi-axis pressure

Localized, distributed heating is possible


IMPLICATIONS OF FORGED COMPOSITES® FOR DESIGN

Built-in ribbing or reinforcements

Variations in section are possible without having to laminate additional material

Any thickness can be created: there are no limitations due to the thickness of material plies. The only limit refers to the minimum thickness

It is possible to do mechanical machining, such as drilling or trimming, because the material is hardly affected by cutting

Ideal for the use of fasteners (load-bearing capacity)


REASONS FOR CHOOSING FORGED COMPOSITES®

ADVANTAGES

HIGHER LOWER

Production volume Expenses

Design freedom Number of components
