  • Publication number: 20240191410
    Abstract: In the method for producing open-porous bone implants with freely accessible guide structures made from fibers, which are formed from a biocompatible metal or metal alloy, long fibers are superimposed in multiple layers, each in the form of a nonwoven, in which the fibers in each layer are arranged in a mutually preferred axial direction. Needling is carried out in at least one of the layers, by means of which individual fibers of the respective layer are aligned in an axial direction which differs by at least 60° from the preferred axial direction in which the other fibers of the layer are aligned. The superimposed layers are materially fitted to one another point by point via sinter bridges on fibers by sintering in a heating device.

  • Publication number: 20220097449
    Abstract: The invention refers to a vehicle rim (1) with a rim body (2) made of fiber composite material, comprising a first subpreform (3) at a first axial end and a third subpreform (5) at the opposite second axial end, wherein a second subpreform (4) is arranged between the first subpreform (3) and the third subpreform (5), wherein the second subpreform (3) engages into a front connecting cavity (6) formed by the first subpreform (3) as well as also into a rear connecting cavity (7) being formed by the third subpreform (5).

  • Publication number: 20210146579
    Abstract: A method for producing wound hollow profiles having variable curvatures and cross-sections. In this case, a core having at least one curvature or cross-sectional change is moved in a translatory manner relative to a system having at least a first and a second fibre feed which cause the formation of an axial fibre reinforcement and at least one first wound layer.
