To further improve the strength of fiber-reinforced injection molded parts, our process combines injection molding with thermoforming of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic organo sheets, including glass fiber (GF) and carbon fiber (CF) based woven, unidirectional (UD), and hybrid laminate sheets using matrices such as PP, PA6, PA66, PC, PPS, TPU, and PEEK.
Composite fiber parts can be manufactured with excellent structural integrity.
Fully automated and highly reproducible process ensuring consistent output quality.
Further weight reduction and part consolidation for lighter, stronger components.
Laminate Insert Moulding (LIM) is an advanced manufacturing process that combines pre-formed laminate sheets with injection moulding to create high-performance structural and aesthetic thermoplastic components.
Unlike conventional injection moulding or post-lamination processes, LIM enables direct integration of structural layers in a single moulding cycle, resulting in improved part performance and reduced secondary operations.
Structural laminate is pre-formed to part geometry
Laminate insert is placed inside injection mould cavity
Thermoplastic melt is injected behind laminate
Polymer bonds with laminate forming structural composite
Component is cooled and ejected as finished part
Finished component removed for quality inspection
Fabric made of continuous fibers in a thermoplastic matrix is heated, formed inside the injection mould, and then back-injected. This enables the integration of ribs for enhanced stiffness and part consolidation.
Multi-layer laminate stack enables engineers to control stiffness, strength, crash performance and impact resistance for demanding structural applications.
Injection moulding ensures precision and high productivity. IMC enhances it with inline compounding for better material integrity and performance.
Laminate Insert Moulding is widely adopted for functional interior/exterior components:
