Thermoplastics: the way of the future – New developments
Affordable overmolded organosheet in mass production.
Valeo’s Thermal Front End Product Group has developed the first mass produced glass fiber composite structural part in the automotive market for the front end bolster of the Daimler GLE/GLS platform.
The process thermoforms glass composite inserts called “organo sheets” directly inside injection tools with the result being a one step net shape part able to be produced in high volume to meet customer annual volume. This innovative solution results in a 30 % weight save compared to metals.
