optiformTEX involved the development of a textile technology for novel flat natural fibre semi-finished products made of staple fibres with load-appropriate topological material distribution.
This technology is also intended to enable partial functionalisation of such semi-finished products using different high-performance staple fibres (including production residues).
The approach achieves a weight reduction of 30 to 50 % for lightweight moulded parts without compromising the cost efficiency of the resulting products or even improving their profitability through process-integrated manufacturing and assembly.
