      Patent: Hybrid structural components by combining LFT plastic injection molding (long fiber thermoplastic) & additive manufactured continuous fiber inserts.

      Injection molded plastic parts can be made lightweight in a number of ways. A new strategie for reducing the weight of injection molded parts is shown by our sample case study: With a special process, patented by acad, injection molded parts can be strengthened locally in an effective and sustainably simple way. By combining LFT (Long Fiber Thermoplastic) and additively manufactured continuous fiber inserts, it is possible to produce high-strength and considerably lighter structural components by serial injection molding. Main Advantages: - Local load-optimized and automated integration of continuous fibers in LFT injection molded components at the hot spots - additive manufacturing of semi-finished products from pre-impregnated continuous fibers - optimal load transfer due to compatible matrix materials for inserts and injection molding material - elimination of weak points such as flow lines in LFT injection molded components

      PBT resin und Compounds

      Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is a semi-crystalline, thermoplastic, saturated polyester used as a material for highly stressed technical parts in many industrial sectors. In addition to injection molding and extrusion variants, there are unreinforced, glass fiber-reinforced, glass bead- and mineral-filled, flame-retardant, elastomer-modified, and food-contact-approved product types. Our product range also includes various blends: PBT/ABS; PBT/ASA; PBT/PC; PBT/PET; PBT/SAN; PBT/TPEE. Characteristic properties: High stiffness and strength Very good dimensional stability under heat Low water absorption Good resistance to many chemicals Excellent weather resistance Outstanding heat aging behavior Areas of application: Automotive, fiber production, plumbing, electrical engineering and electronics, and compounding

    3. PC

      PC

      Polycarbonate is characterized by high heat resistance, strength, and hardness, as well as excellent sliding properties, high abrasion resistance, good chemical resistance, low susceptibility to stress cracking, and low moisture absorption. In addition to injection molding variants, there are grades for the extrusion of semi-finished products, films, and cable sheathing, as well as unreinforced, glass fiber-reinforced, glass bead, and mineral-filled versions. There are also flame-retardant, elastomer-modified, and food-contact-approved product grades, as well as blends with acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate copolymer (ASA). Areas of application: Polycarbonate is used for optical parts (lenses and ophthalmic lenses) as well as for sports goggles and visors. Impact resistance is a key consideration, as is weight savings compared to traditionally used glass. PC is also used in the automotive, leisure, household, and electronics industries.

    4. PC

      PC

      PC (Polycarbonate) is a high-functional engineering plastic which is mainly used for industrial purposes because it is stronger and lighter than general plastics. Polycarbonate, known as a material used in bulletproof glass, is transparent and resistant to impact and heat, making it the most sought-after material in various industrial fields such as electronics, automobiles and mechanical components.
