11 CompoLite TM PU substrate CONCEPT Structural sandwich material based on PU foam core and PU-fibres reinforced skins CHARACTERISTICS Lightweight and good strength/weight ratio High bending stiffness and high dimensional stability Different reinforcing layers possible (glass fibre, basalt, natural fibres,...) High design freedom: integration possibilities (channels, fixture, other materials, ) flexible A-surface type: Colo-Fast, textile, good 3D formability in the moulding process different properties possible in 1 piece Cost-saving due to the 1-step process 8

12 PU Nanocomposites CONCEPT Addition of Zn oxide nanoparticles in PU formulation CHARACTERISTICS UV absorption leading to: improved colour stability broader UV protection spectrum No volatile organic compounds 9

13 Nano-reinforced steel CONCEPT Steel strengthening by non-alloy particles: oxide nanoparticles produced via different methods coating on nanoparticles to improve wettability nanoparticles dispersed in molten steel CHARACTERISTICS Steel strengthening by non-alloy particles Weight reduction as thickness can be reduced (higher steel strength) Concept in feasibility stage 10

14 Structured Steel CONCEPT Forming embossments in single sheet in a continuous process (patented) Assembly of 2 sheets (e.g. adhesive bonding) CHARACTERISTICS High stiffness, because of top/top set-up Lightweight (e.g. steel skins 2 x 0.25 mm) Extra energy adsorption during impact loading Additional features: allows internal (air) flow for heating and cooling advanced design look, different cavity shapes possible available in various steel grades (strength, coloured pre-coat) 11

15 Gen2 CosCone speaker CONCEPT Lightweight shallow speaker CHARACTERISTICS Lightweight (down to 125 g for standard 6.5 woofer or full range) because of the use of Nd magnet system & reduced material volume Shallow envelope (down to 30 mm for standard 6.5 woofer or full range) allows for more integration flexibility: compared to classic loudspeakers, a height reduction can be obtained that equals or exceeds the required mechanical excursion of the loudspeaker in its application Rigid membrane with controlled break-up matches classic cone performance Parameterization of membrane dimensions allows for design towards desired acoustics 12

16 Laser welded blanks & patchwork CONCEPT Remote laser stitch welding technology for hybrid blank solution LWB in combination with patchwork for local reinforcement enabling thickness reduction CHARACTERISTICS Weight reduction (10-15%) Easier production at OEM (less parts) Cost reduction Crash management Optimisation of welding parameters (robot path, penetration depth, gap, patch size, clamping, ) 13

17 Boron steels for SIPS bar CONCEPT Combination of press-hardened steel (PHS) and tailored blanks technology CHARACTERISTICS Weight reduction (up to 50% compared with a High-Strength Steel) Higher strength thanks to Usibor steel Higher energy absorption thanks to Ductibor steel Crash management Overall production costs reduction, thanks to: parts integration, blanking, stamping, post-assembling operations, reduction and better material consumption with improved sub-blanks cutting lay-outs 14

18 Foam in metal profiles CONCEPT Hollow metal profile filled with: aluminium foam different types of PUR foam CHARACTERISTICS Increased stiffness Extra energy absorption during impact loading Easy foam insertion 15
