Flax fibers were used to reduce the CO₂ emission of the motocross brake cover by 82%, with KTM’s Conexus for effective bonding between thermoset and thermoplastic parts.

The all-electric vehicle concept was developed with natural fiber composite body panels designed by BAMD Composites with Bcomp materials.

The natural fiber is increasing traction across several marine applications, including in projects by Greenboats, Northern Light Composites, the Beneteau Group and others.

Project partners nominated for an offshore nacelle manufactured with natural fiber composites, with a construction that saves approximately 60% CO₂ equivalent and introduced viable options for the end of the nacelles’ life.

Companies like Syensqo, Weav3D, Toyota, CompositeEdge and Teijin Automotive Technologies are recognized for their composites-forward approaches to more sustainable, energy-efficient automotive efforts.

CW associate editor Hannah Mason recaps several technologies seen on display at JEC World 2022, including new developments from Bcomp, Massivit 3D, Gen 2 Carbon and more.

Bcomp’s renewable fiber reinforcements are used in interior panels in the recycled plastics demonstrator vehicle XC60 to overcome the degraded properties of recycled plastic.

The Cayman 718 GT4 CS delivers a full natural fiber composite bodywork kit for the Four Motors racing team at the 24 Hours Nürburgring race.

The flax fibers meet strength and stiffness requirements while reducing vibration, cost, enhancing safety and lowering its CO₂ footprint by 75%.

Hufschmied moves beyond optimized milling and drilling tools to develop SonicShark inline quality control system and Cutting Edge World cloud platform for optimized tool use and processes.
