Key drivers
▪ Weight reduction
▪ Design freedom
▪ CO2 reduction
Lightweight materials and design have always been an
important topic in product design across several industries.
The concept has been most important in aviation and also
in automotive, where driving dynamics are a major
consideration. Global trends toward CO2 reduction and
resource efficiency have significantly increased the
importance of this topic over the last years.
Fiber-reinforced plastics are a unique solution for
engineers in aerospace, automotive and sporting goods
because of their incredible strength-to-weight ratio. The
combination of fibers and polymer form a new material
with improved physical properties.

COMPOSITE TOOLINGINDUSTRY CHALLENGES
Whether your application requires reusable layup
mold tooling or sacrificial tooling for complex,
trapped-tool geometries, Additive Manufacturing
simplifies the fabrication of composite parts while
provided unparalleled design freedom. High
temperature, cost effective tools can be produced in
days, compared to the weeks or even months
required for traditional tooling.
Industry drivers
➢ Reduce cost and leadtime
➢ Produce (small series) functional products
➢ Respond quickly to customer demands

HOLLOWCOMPOSITE SUB-APPLICATION
HOLLOW COMPOSITESINDUSTRY CHALLENGES
While basic shapes with constant cross sections are
easily manufactured using traditional composite
manufacturing techniques, complex composite parts
with hollow interiors present a unique manufacturing
challenge. Any configuration that traps a core or
mandrel inside requires sacrificial tooling.
Industry drivers
➢ Design freedom to create any hollow composite shape
➢ Create smooth internal and external composite surfaces
➢ Reduce turn around time from design to part
➢ Provide a cost effective solution for small series
production

Additive manufacturing has fundamentally changed
the procedure for creating complex, hollow
composite parts.
➢ Offers significant design freedom and the ability to
quickly iterate designs
➢ Create smooth internal carbon surfaces & higher fine
feature definition
➢ Eliminates the need for additional tooling or molds for
sacrificial tool production
➢ Low initial investment required to create small series
productions

DSM provides an efficient and cost-effective approach for
producing tough, complex hollow composite parts with a
superb surface finish and high feature detail compared with
competing technologies.
Using DMX/NeXt to offer a sacrificial, flexible and airtight
core which has the unique feature to be easiest and best
removed, after the autoclave process, from convoluted
shapes and voids, in the industry.
This method of using additive manufacturing to produce
sacrificial tooling is straightforward and enables multiple
iterations to be implemented quickly by the user.

SMALL LAY-UPCOMPOSITE SUB-APPLICATION
Additive manufacturing has fundamentally changed
the procedure for creating small series composite
parts.
➢ Offers significant design freedom and the ability to
quickly iterate designs. Ability to deliver composite parts
faster.
➢ Fine resolution that reduces surface preparation needed
to create a smooth part.
➢ Low initial investment required to create small series
productions
➢ Increased operational safety by decreasing core weight of
mold for use in autoclave process
➢ CNC machining produces more waste when you have parts
with complex geometries

DSM provides and has the ability to deliver, within a few days,
complex design molds with a superb surface finish and high
feature detail compared with competing technologies.
Using PerFORM to offer a high temperature resistant material
that is dimensionally stable and can withstand the stresses of
the autoclave process time and time again.
This method of using additive manufacturing to produce lay-
up tooling is straightforward and enables multiple iterations
to be implemented quickly by the user, providing flexibility
while reducing lead-time and cost for small series production
runs.
