Functionalized profile structures for higher efficiency at lower costs

What is the challenge?

Your product or component has a weight problem? And it should become more intelligent and be as easy to integrate as possible? Then our pultruded profiles are an ideal solution.

What solution do we have for you?

Pultrusion is a highly economical manufacturing process for a wide variety of profile geometries made from continuous fiber-reinforced plastics. By using pultruded profiles, you can assemble your structures individually from a wide range of materials (glass or carbon fibers, metals, ceramics, etc.) and implement your desired functionalities (sensors, connecting elements, etc.) in a single process step. Integrate current add-ons safely and economically directly into the pultrusion manufacturing process.

What is now available in concrete terms?

With our functionalized profile structures, we offer you a solution for higher efficiency at lower costs. Take out the existing plant technology for the production of various profile geometries realizing industry standard and above. Solutions for the implementation of the highest bond strengths between plastic and metals (hybrids) as well as options for integrating sensors are available. You can rely on the know-how of the Fraunhofer IWU, from the design and implementation to testing and customer application.
