The core of the Fiberforge vision is "lightweighting,' the practice of designing and creating a significantly lighter product that still satisfies appropriate standards for strength, performance, appearance, and safety. When it comes to cars, lightweighting is particularly attractive because a lighter car uses less fuel. The work led Fiberforge to a subsequent breakthrough in composite processing that enables high-volume, low-cost production of thermoplastic advanced composite parts not only for car bodies, but for everything from portable computers to aircraft parts.
