Smart Technology Integration for High-Strength, Ultra-Lightweight Plastic Components
hesco combines advanced manufacturing technologies to produce high-strength, ultra-lightweight and cost-efficient plastic components:
• Physical and chemical foam injection moulding
• Fibre-reinforced thermoplastics (GFRP/CFRP, long glass and carbon fibres)
• Core-back technology / precision mould opening
• Electron-beam crosslinking to enhance material properties
This innovative combination enables highly durable lightweight structures with excellent bending stiffness at significantly reduced weight. The technologies are scalable for cost-effective, highly automated high-volume production.
Additional functional integration through insert moulding of metal and organosheet components.
**Applications:** Automotive, aerospace, aviation, defence, drones and unmanned systems operating in air, on land and at sea.
**Keywords / Technologies:**
Foam injection moulding, foam injection molding, structural foam moulding, thermoplastic foam injection moulding, physical foaming, chemical foaming, microcellular foam, microcellular injection moulding, microcellular molding, µ-cell, MuCell, CellMould, Cellmould, core-back, core-back technology, precision mould opening, negative injection compression moulding, GFRP, CFRP, LGF, LCF, long glass fibre, long carbon fibre, glass fibre reinforced plastics, carbon fibre reinforced plastics, advanced composites, hybrid composites, electron-beam crosslinking, E-Beam, radiation crosslinking, insert moulding, insert molding, organosheets, metal-plastic hybrids, lightweight design, lightweight engineering, high-strength plastics, structural components, thermoplastics, injection moulding, injection molding, plastic processing, mass production, UAV, UAS, UGV, USV, drones, unmanned vehicles, defence, defense, military, aerospace.
