  COMPOSIT ELEMENTS  REALISATION  
    Crucial complement of a tubular frame chassis, the composit body comes generally from a series vehicle which served for mould realisation.

It often occurs to realise composit elements for traditional 4X4, entire bumpers or fenders broadeners for example.

Polyester, epoxy, carbon or Kevlar ?
Among different composit materials, polyester is the most frequently used and the less expensive. For a better rigidity, we will choose carbon often associated to Kevlar for a soliditu guarantee (with epoxy resin).

MoreoverKevlar is often used for protection elements realisation (skis, armour platings...) and for parts subject to severe tests like arches.

On the opposite side, a few examples of moulds realised on a VW Touareg and unfinished parts obtained after removal.

All steps from  REALISATION TO LAYING can be realised by our team, or partly contracted out to our partners under our control. Our aim is still to satisfy your most specified requirements.   Contact us !

 
  Realisation of a prototype "tubular chassis and polyester body"  
  Below a sight of integration of chassis and body.  
  Development of a cross-country vehicle prototype begins with conception of the main cell in which tubular frame will be set up. At first, it's recommended to start with a series model you can adapt to selected performance factors (wheel base, wheel-track width...). 

Strenght points  :
- lightness of the unit
- perfect similarity

- malleability of materials
