“We are extremely happy with the Fiberforge parts. Not only are they significantly lighter weight and more functional for our customers, but they are actually more cost competitive and have saved us significant labor expense.” — Dana Gleason, founder and president of Mystery Ranch In partnership with Ticona and Oxeon Inc., this automotive underbody shield was produced at Fraunhofer ICT using the Fiberforge process and over-injection molding process. “Fiberforge’s innovative tape layup process opens new possibilities for producing thermoplastic advanced composite parts in a fast and robust process for large-scale manufacturing, and in combination with other technologies such as compression and injection molding. The Fiberforge Relay Station is key to these developments and will expand our research and development portfolio of methods, materials and process technologies for fiber-reinforced plastics.” — Dr. Ing. Frank Henning, Deputy Director of Fraunhofer ICT
