Structural Components

Structural components can be replaced with improved materials such as metal inserts or continuous fibers to increase stiffness, strength, and impact resistance. This technology is not only used for body-in-white and battery pack applications, but is also intended to improve the entire product portfolio. Another advantage is the function integration, where several components are combined into one, which reduces weight and costs.

A case study showed that we can replace a magnesium die-cast component in a premium vehicle with a lighter and more resilient product. Our technology can be adapted to different applications, depending on your needs.
