Within the framework of the thermoPre regional growth cluster funded by the BMBF, in which the Cetex Institut für Textil- und Verarbeitungsmaschinen gGmbH, Chemnitz/Germany, is involved as research partner, new processes for the direct impregnation of UD tapes and for the continuous production of organic sheets that are designed according to the load are being developed. Using the example of the engine mount for the e-Golf, a weight reduction of 35% compared with the metallic engine mount could be achieved by means of using new materials and by functional integration during the component manufacture in the thermoform-ing process. As a result of the production of the UD material in a single, direct processing technique, next to the weight reduction there are also cost benefits.
