Next month, AZL Aachen, in cooperation with the Institute of Plastics Processing (IKV) at RWTH Aachen University will start a Joint Market and Technology Study on High-Performance SMC with the aim to evaluate the potential of a next generation of SMC in industrial applications. Companies along the entire SMC value chain, as well as those interested in the SMC market, are invited to join.

“SMC is a proven first choice solution for replacing metal parts. The drive to further weight savings and significant reduction in CO2 emissions requires a next generation of high-performance SMC (HP-SMC) with short and continuous fibre-reinforced systems using both carbon and glass fibres with customised resin compounds,” AZL Aachen explains.
