A-Comp Compression Molding

Composite Produktion with A-Comp Compression Molding

With our A-Comp Compression Molding process, we produce simple to geometrically complex components from fiber-reinforced PEEK, PSU, PPSU or PEI plastics in all series sizes. Read more

Why A-Comp Compression Molding?

• Maximum design freedom & performance
  The thermoplastic compression molding (hot press) process combines the level of automation and product design freedom from injection molding with the outstanding strength and stiffness of carbon fiber composites.

• High performance in diverse applications

  Due to their fiber length (up to 20mm) and high fiber volume content (up to 3 times higher than injection molded parts), thermoplastic fiber composites are suitable for diverse high-performance applications.

• Production of complex 3D structures & funtionalities

  Application-oriented compression molding technologies can be used to realize simple to geometrically complex features with perfect surface finish and fully integrated subfeatures, 3D structures und funtionalities:

  • Double curvatures
  • T, I or L profiles
  • Reticulated holes
  • Load paths
  • Wall thickness jumps
  • Bearing seats
  • Reinforcing ribs
  • Threads
  • Inserts
  • Undercuts
  • Holes
  • Openings

• Cost-efficient due to high degree of automation

  Compression Modeling systems are capable of processing up to 50,000 parts per year with a single production cell. Automated mass production guarantees part quality and repeatability.

• Wide range of raw materials and endless composite possibilities
  Thermoplastic Composite Compression Molding can be used to compress high-end thermoplastic composites with PA6, PA12, PA66, PPS, PEI, PEEK, PES and TPI matrices. Read more

• Unique surface finishes with outstanding surface quality
  Custom configuration of high-performance fiber-reinforced plastics for outstanding properties and unique surface finishes. Read more
