A Composite Product Enters the Mass Market

摘要

In the Spring of 2001, Bico AG presented a new innovative slatted bed. It incorporates 56 springs made of composite material, which allows the effect of a "hovering" sleep. All parts of the body are perfectly shored up. Aerospace technology was successfully integrated into a product for the mass consumer market. [The application was nominated for the JEC Award 2002]. The companies-dyne design engineering gmbh. ACM GmbH, and Naegeli AG jointly developed the composite spring element and the related production equipment. The realization of the enormous volume of 1.4 Million parts per year can be valued as a special success for the project.
