VEHICLE COMPONENT BASED ON SELECTIVE COMMINGLED FIBER BUNDLE HAVING INTEGRAL ELECTRICAL HARNESS AND EMBEDDED ELECTRONICS

摘要

A form for a vehicle component including a commingled fiber bundle laid out in a two-dimensional base layer that defines a shape of the form, a successive layer formed with the commingled fiber bundle in contact with the two-dimensional layer, and at least one of electrical conductive wiring, sensor, light emitting diode (LED), antenna, radio frequency identification chip, or a printed circuit board stitched to the successive layer. The comingled fiber bundle is composed of a reinforcement fiber being glass fibers, aramid fibers, carbon fibers, or a combination thereof.
