In construction markets, materials must be sturdy, yet aesthetically appealing. Designing and molding your next components from cost-effective thermoset composites such as Bulk Molding Compound (BMC), Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) and Structural Thermoset Composites (STC®) will save time and money. Besides maintaining critical physical properties under exposure to stressful conditions, thermoset composites for construction must maintain an attractive appearance over time. For example, a bright white window frame must maintain its color and gloss when exposed to natural elements, drastic temperatures, and harmful cleaning supplies.
The University of Stuttgart, Institute of Aircraft Design is using the adaptive mould technology from Adapa A/S, to develop composite products and automated robotic manufacture processes for the construction industry.
