Ultra-lightweight structures using thermoplastic fiber-reinforced materials.
Achieving one-shot molding of high-rigidity ultra-lightweight structures through thermoplastic fiber-reinforced materials and foaming molding.
The exterior of the product is made of thermoplastic fiber-reinforced materials characterized by high rigidity and strength, represented by cross materials and UD. The lightweight and high rigidity are achieved by incorporating randomly oriented or short fiber thermoplastic reinforced materials that have been foamed internally to reduce weight. The interlayer strength of each reinforcing material is improved through one-shot molding, resulting in high reliability as an ultra-lightweight structure. Additionally, since it can be molded in one shot, it offers excellent productivity compared to traditional structures that require multiple processes. The sample of the demon tile is merely a conceptual sample and not a production item, but it meets the requirements for an ultra-lightweight structure.
