The front grille for the BMW iX is produced in a cleanroom environment, since any dust would be visible through the high-gloss polyurethane (PUR) finish. Produced in an integrated process, the component consists of a functional film that is back-injection moulded with polycarbonate (PC) and then flood-coated with 2-3 mm PUR. Engel developed the production cell.

A motorcycle seat base injection moulded from glass fibre reinforced polypropylene (PP-GF) thermoplastic composite, featuring in-mould woven unidirectional tape. Created as a joint project between Engel and Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM Technologies, the new seat base combines a greater stiffness, despite a more compact part design and less weight, with low production costs.

Underside of a maintenance access hatch for passenger aircraft, showing the injection moulded features and ribs over the compression moulded organo sheet. In a single process, developed by Engel, a pre-heated thermoplastic organosheet is loaded into the mould cavity and over-moulded with high temperature thermoplastic. The materials are carbon fibre polyaryletherketone (PAEK-CF) organo and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) injection mould.
Relevant materials
Carbon fibre (CF), T300, Standard modulus, high tensile (HT), 1K, 3K, 6K and 12K tow
