Increasing the performance of continuous compression moulding by local pressure adaption

Continuous compression moulding (CCM) is an efficient process for manufacturing endless fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites, so called organic sheets. The semi-finished products are fully impregnated and consolidated and can be thermoformed into complex 3D-geometries. Applications benefit from...
