Point of the Proposed Technology
Pre-form Materials
2D: laminated sheet materials, tailored stacking materials (arbitrarily oriented tape laminated material)
3D: Three-dimensional forming products, ATL (tape lay-up) lamination products
They can be used in built-in into and assembly in the final forming process as composite intermediate parts.
Effect(s)
・ A wide variety of plastics materials can be used (PP. PA, PC, TPU, PPS, LCP, PEEK, PEKK、etc.).
・ It is possible to be used for making into products in combination with existing technologies such as mold injection.
・ It is possible to study response to a future environment as materials with recyclability.
・ It is possible to make additional processing such as partial reinforcement.
・ Delivery will be made as PF products in the minimum necessary size making it possible to contribute to reduction of material loss.
New Technology
2D Pre-form Materials
MaterialsRaw materials in use: Carbon fibers, glass fibers, aramid fibers, and other high-strength fibers.
Targets are UD-Tapes, Organic sheets, Random sheets, etc. that use the above materials.
Laminated constitution: It is possible to realize an arbitrary structure with the orientation layer of 0, 90, 45, or -45 degrees based on a QI/pseudo-isotropiclamination.
It is also possible to use cloth materials, random materials, and core materials (foam materials, honeycomb materials, etc.).
Size: w 500 mm × L 500 mm @ medium/high temperature types
w 195 mm × L 1,150 mm @ medium temperature type
w 300 mm × L 1,500 mm @ high temperature type
Thickness: 1.0 mm to 5.0 mm
3D Pre-form Materials
Raw materials in use: Carbon fibers, glass fibers, aramid fibers, and other high-strength fibers.
Targets are UD-Tapes, Organic sheets, Random sheets, etc. that use the above materials.
Laminated constitution: It is possible to apply an arbitrary reinforcing material arrangement or lamination structure at orientation angles other than 0, 90, 45, and -45 degrees.
It is also possible to use cloth materials, random materials, and core materials (foam materials, honeycomb materials, etc.).
Size: Lamination constituent materials in the range of W 1,000 mm × L 1,000 mm.
Pipe materials, containers, etc. in the range of W 500 mm × L 2,000 mm × H 500 mm.
