End Use Parts – Renewable Energy
Sandwich composites for wind turbine components• Strength to weight ratio critical• Cores increase stiffness and bending strength
Commercial-grade thermoplastic Fortus generated cores • Withstand lay-up and curing process +250°F / 50
psi• Support lay-up and curing without tooling• Composite parts up to 30% lighter
Result in process improvements for composite parts • Design flexibility: closed internal passages• Make changes or custom parts faster

Design
Iris van Herpen, Fashion Designer
The ability to vary softness and elasticity inspired us to design a
“second skin” for the body acting as armor-in-motion; in
this way we were able to design not only the garment’s form but
also its motion.
