TTI says that its radius pultrusion technology is the only composites process that can produce the curved profiles in terms of improved safety, performance, production rate and cost requirements.
The beam is produced by running a set of reinforcements including carbon fibers from a creel as well as biaxial, triaxial and stitched unidirectional carbon fabrics, with glass surface tissues for stabilization and a better surface finish.
Thomas Technik & Innovation (TTI) has collaborated with Tier 1 auto supplier Shape Corp to develop a curved carbon fiber rear bumper beam.
