Economic advantages
Cost reduction through process automation
The outstanding automation potentials of the thermoplastic tape winding process, along with the capacities of thermal forming allow for series manufacturing of parts like conveying pipes that benefit from maximum weight savings or thermal and chemical stability.
Functional integration
Thermoforming also offers the opportunity to add functional integration to composite parts. Wound profiles can be reshaped in order to add a spring effect to their mechanical behavior (e.g. coil spring).
