A truck storage tray, produced from polypropylene (PP) by KraussMaffei using MuCell foaming technology. The foam reduces the density of the part, allowing it to become thicker and stiffer without adding weight. Foaming usually leaves surface marks as a result of the flow of the gas during moulding. It is most visible in black parts. The polymer is modified with additives to reduce the effect and surface texture added to eliminate the visual impact altogether. In this case, a textured in-mould label (IML) has been added to the centre (silver), completely concealing the black plastic beneath.

Door impact bar test part for the Audi A4 consisting of several layers of woven glass fibre in a polyamide (PA-GF), nylon, matrix. The PA-GF organo is thermoformed into the shape of the mould and then back injection moulded with short fibre PA-GF. The result of a collaboration between Audi AG, Bond Laminates, the Institute for Composite Materials, Jacob Plastics, Lanxess, and KraussMaffei, this is a mass-producible composite suitable for safety-critical automotive applications. It is known as SpriForm and FiberForm.
