Outlook: Coating with atmosphe eric plasma Plasma CVD coating through process gas Thin, scratch-resistant coatings Application directly in p roduction Low investment and operating costs No serial production at present Boundary conditions and processing times must be optimised Testing of the coated surface Total width: 300 mm Source: INP Greifswald
Outlook: Metallisation with atmospheric plasma Metal powder is applied plasma (cold active) Roll-to-roll process is possible High separation rates Different metals in Suitable for: 3D MID / conductor trac cks EMC Base coat for partial electroplating Source: Reinhausen Plasma
Outlook: Vehicle films High quality and digital pr rint Reversible individualisation Body colour for interior Further development of process technology is necessary www.allfolia.de 3M GmbH Roland BG www.allfolia.de
Outlook: Insert molding Tests on injection-mould ing composite designs of "real materials" Carbon and imitations of carbon Wood Textiles, real and imitation leather IML and FIM films with special functions or designs Use of a new forming process for wood, textiles and leather Photo IAA 2009: Mercedes S65 AMG Demonstrator for Demonstrator for mobile phone shells made of wood Source: Albea GmbH
