Fraunhofer Institute for Wood Research 2C injection molding machine
With the aid of the 2C injection molding machine, we are able to directly combine two different materials with differing properties in one process step. In this way, complex multifunctional materials can be produced which are, for example, simultaneously stiff and flexible in order to fulfil conflicting requirements. Furthermore, we are able to produce lightweight components made of fiber composites. With these so-called “organic sheets“ we, for example, support the automotive industry in developing doors and tailgates based on renewable resources.
