Advanced thermoplastic composite materials for lighter, tougher, stiffer parts
Compared with traditional metals, plastics and thermoset composites, fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites are lighter, tougher, stiffer, more sustainable and can be produced in high volumes – with the right process.
The Fiberforge process incorporates a wide variety of fibers and resins to create advanced composites that meet the demands of almost any high performance application, ranging from aircraft parts to golf clubs.
Thermoplastic advanced composites compared to other materials:
- 60% lighter and 600% stiffer than steel
- 30% lighter than aluminum
- 200% tougher than thermoset composites
- 500% stiffer than injection molded plastics
- 60% less scrap during production than sheet goods
Thermoplastic Composite Materials
Improved heat tolerance, stiffness, toughness and compressive strength are just some of the benefits of using thermoplastic composite materials.
Manufacturing Process
The breakthrough Fiberforge process is based on four simple, discrete steps that run in succession, producing advanced composite parts within minutes.
