In the interdisciplinary BMBF cooperation project "OPTO-Light", the connection of thermoset and thermoplastic composites for the automotive sector has been implemented for the first time in a large-scale application by a photonics-enabled process chain based on an injection molding machine with a turning plate. The production of continuous fiber-reinforced hybrid plastic components for the automotive industry with a so far unknown freedom of design is demonstrated. In the interdisciplinary cooperation with the companies BMW Group, KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH, ARGES GmbH, Precitec GmbH & Co. KG, Sensortherm GmbH and Zeiss Optotechnik GmbH the overall process and system development is done by Aachen Center for Integrative Light Construction (AZL) at RWTH Aachen. The developed production cell is the first polymer processing machine, which interacts by mechanics and control with a robot-based laser system for the processing of complex 3d-surfaces e.g. for laser heating or laser sublimation. The process chain is assessed using a section of a structural automotive demonstrator component of the BMW i3.
