The new procedure is suitable not only for wheels, but also for Springs, Levers, Traverses or Pull-/ Pushrods. These structural parts are mainely stressed in one direction.

Not every Part built in classical metall Construction can be replaced 1:1 by a

Carbonpart with comparable Geometrie !

Carbonfiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) is an anisotropic material, that means the strength- and stiffness properties depend on the fiber orientation inside the part. The weight reduction compared to metallic parts can only be optimized, if the fiber orientation is correlating with the direction of main stresses. For example a plate spring made of glassfiber can perform a weight reduction up to 70 % compared to one in classical steel construction.

The application of this new manufacturing technology is independant of the line of business. In aerospace, automotive, mechanical engineering as well as in medical and sports, weight reduction by carbon parts makes sence.
