I. Materials with isotropy and high strength (mechanical properties)
II. High moldability enables to produce intricate-shaped moldings.
III. Short-cycle forming and low-pressure pressing are possible.
IV. A low porosity rate ensures high quality moldings.
V. Suitable for thin CFRP products
Effect(s)
Total cost is reduced by shortening the forming time and simplifying the material handling.
Mass: 1/4 of iron or steel
Productivity/workability: high-cycle forming
Superior to conventional fabrics in formativeness in deep grooves and small corner radius
