Exceed today’s limitation
When it comes to designing an object or a part the challenge
relies in finding the right material with a minimum ofcompromise.

A new world of possibilities is now open with an innovative
composite material that is thermoformable, impact resistant,lighter than carbon fiber, stronger than most plastics andenabling short production cycle at lower temperature. Thiscomposite material, called SIMTEX™ conjugated filaments, hasbeen developed by UBE Exsymo.
…oh and we almost forget. It is not only durable, it is also
aesthetic and 100% recyclable.

Thermoformed sheet can processed under 120°C
press at 1-2MPa allowing rapid cooling.
It means shorter cycles and important energysavings.
It also means access to new applications and parts,
formerly only feasible with high temperature
