Krauss Maffei is focusing is trade fair presence at JEC World in Paris on lightweight and structural components for the automotive industry, including a carbon rim and a battery housing for electric vehicles, manufactured using the high-pressure RTM process. The company will also be presenting innovative exhibits with self-healing surfaces, manufactured using the Colorform process. With the new battery encapsulation technology, Krauss Maffei also offers an innovative solution for protecting battery cells with highly reactive polyurethane, which is specially tailored to the requirements of modern electric vehicles in the automotive industry.

A tractor mudguard manufactured using the long fiber injection process (LFI) will also be presented at the trade fair. This technology combines cost efficiency for small production quantities with a wide range of surface design options such as thermoformed foils or artificial leather. This results in flexible and versatile solutions for various applications in the commercial and agricultural sectors.

In the construction industry, Krauss Maffei relies on the pultrusion process to produce durable, corrosion-resistant profiles and concrete reinforcements. Visitors to the fair will be able to inspect profiles for windows and other applications as well as reinforcing bars.

Pultruded profiles from Krauss Maffei's subsidiary Pultrex also offer innovative solutions for renewable energies, such as for the assembly of solar panels and for rotor blade belts used in large wind turbines. These components are lightweight, durable and can withstand high loads.

Mobility Planet: From sport to the automotive world

Golf clubs, bicycles — and now also automotive: Taiwanese composite specialist Advanced International Multitech (AIM) is expanding its portfolio with Krauss Maffei to include high-pressure RTM technology. A state-of-the-art complete system with sophisticated tooling produces high-quality carbon rims that impress with both precision and performance. A special highlight: the innovative carbon rim was honored by the jury of the JEC Innovation Planets and will be presented at the renowned Mobility Planet. Krauss Maffei and AIM are thus setting new standards in the combination of lightweight construction and automotive technology.

Additive manufacturing — a technology of the future

At JEC World in Paris, Krauss Maffei will be presenting innovative solutions for industrial and large-format additive manufacturing. The focus will be on the Printcore extruder, which sets new standards in large-format 3D printing with its high output and flexible integration into industrial robots and gantry systems.

One highlight is the seamless integration of the Printcore extruder into robot solutions that enable highly dynamic and flexible production — ideal for complex geometries and varying component sizes. This combination opens up new application possibilities beyond prototyping and ensures reliable industrial production.

Krauss Maffei will be demonstrating the system's performance in a live print cell with robot configuration. The solution on show is aimed at companies that want to integrate customized and scalable additive manufacturing processes into their production — based on proven industry standards and established safety concepts.

With decades of experience in plastics processing, extrusion technology and material preparation, Krauss Maffei is setting new standards in industrial additive manufacturing. The company's focus on large-format, robot-assisted 3D printing solutions makes it a leading partner for manufacturers who want to maximize efficiency and quality.

System solutions from the idea to series production

Krauss Maffei offers complete system solutions, ranging from customized dispensing machines to fully integrated system concepts with automation and post-processing. The company also manufactures customized molds that are precisely tailored to the customer's specific requirements.

Krauss Maffei experts will be on hand at the JEC to advise visitors from the concept phase through to final implementation and to find the optimum solution for individual requirements.
