DESIGNING ADVANTAGES



  • CFRP appropriate engineering
    (part and structure design, multi-material design, hybrid design,
    load path optimized design) from concept to mass production

  • Complete re-engineering of the structure to the customers needs

  • Consulting of strategy for BiW structure

  • Preliminary design and pre-dimentioning of CFRP part
    (layup, fibre orientation, thickness)

  • Design for prototype & showcar

  • CFRP appropriate CAD construction

  • Integration of customer based components (Interface/Package to BiW)

  • Design for manufacturing

  • FIBERSIM analysis

  • Topology analysis and optimization

  • Implementation or consulting of structure simulation and evaluation


RIGHT MATERIAL IN THE RIGHT PLACE

With the extensive material knowhow in composites,
KDX DC can provide you the best material concept to round off the design:


  • Evaluation, selection and definition of set of materials (fibre, resin matrix,
    semi finished product, composite) to customers’ needs

  • Solid knowhow of mechanical properties (static, crash) and processability

  • Benchmark analysis

  • Consulting of CAE modeling method in relation to material characterization

  • Specific material behavior (impact, crash, fatigue, breakage)

  • Assumption of material properties

  • Material cards creation in collaboration with KDX ERD

  • Material characterization/testing in collaboration with KDX ERD


BETTER PRODUCED

With the extensive process/technology expertise in composite,
KDX DC can ensure your design with selected material can be produced:


  • Set of technology for prototype-, small series- and mass production

  • Technology maturity level

  • Benchmark analysis

  • Availability of suppliers

  • Technology characteristic (local reinforcement, preform, fill, cycle time etc.)

  • Technology (Process) specific design guidelines

  • Process simulation in collaboration with KDX R&D Center

  • Process try out in collaboration with KDX R&D Center
