Currently, an increasing demand for large volume applications driven by the automotive industry has been noticed.<\/p>\n<p>The over-moulding process, is a combination of press forming of thermoplastic composites and subsequent injection over-moulding, enables net-shape stiff and strong parts with a high level of function integration. Due to the nature of thermoplastics, the over-moulding process features very low cycle times and allows for automated processing.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the project is to mature the over-moulding process and provide processing and design guidelines for over-moulded products. The research focus is on interface weld strength and warpage, as well as developing the virtual process chain. These building blocks form the basis for large-scale introduction of over-moulding in the different value chains. Very promising first results of interface characteristics have already been obtained within the project.<\/p>\n<p>The research is carried out by researchers of TPRC supported and guided by the experts from the participating companies and TPRC members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TPRC, its members and a number of further companies have established a research consortium for maturing the over-moulding process of thermoplastic composites.
