We are pleased to announce an important milestone in an extraordinary cooperation project. Together with Covestro and Niebling GmbH Formtechnologie, we have developed a front panel in which wires are precisely embedded in a graphic film - a core element for innovative frontshields of autonomous driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Our technology has already been presented at the Automotive Interiors Expo: Here, we embed wires in a specially developed film that is formed under high pressure into a 3D component such as the front panel or interior elements.
The technologies behind the innovation
Covestro's Makrofol® polycarbonate provides durable and versatile design possibilities for Film Insert Molding (FIM). At the same time, it opens up almost unlimited options for backlighting.
Niebling's High Pressure Forming (HPF) guarantees graphic precision and perfect 3D shaping even for the most demanding designs.
Together we create new standards: With this technology, precise and durable solutions for the automotive industry can be realized - and with absolute design freedom.
A step into the future
This innovative frontshield can be seen not only in our halls, but also in the application laboratories of our partners. Here we discuss process chains and next steps with our customers in order to drive forward development in the areas of connection technology, light integration and more.
Many thanks to everyone involved, whose commitment and ideas have made this progress possible. We look forward to the next challenges and exciting developments!
