Advances in Aerospace: Building the Case for Thermoplastics

June 18, 2024 |

Trelleborg will present a range of topics from the use of in-situ, automated fiber placement of thermoplastics prepreg for structural and functional products to complex injection molding of thermoplastic interior pieces.

Thermoplastic material systems have been used in aerospace for decades. Their use and adoption continues to grow and Trelleborg has been on the leading edge of development for many of these systems. In this webinar, Trelleborg will be presenting a range of topics from the use of in-situ, automated fiber placement of thermoplastics prepreg for structural and functional products to complex injection molding of thermoplastic interior pieces. It will explore some of the benefits these products provide and the potential for future growth and development.

Agenda:

  • Current state of thermoplastics in aerospace
  • Thermoplastic composite use cases for high-performance electric motors and torque tubes
  • Injection-molded thermoplastic interior pieces
  • The future of potential for thermoplastic applications for aerospace
