See how Bcomp’s ampliTex™ and powerRibs™ natural fibre solutions are used to produce high-performance bodywork parts for Porsche Motorsport’s 718 Cayman GT4 CS MR. Thanks to the patented powerRibs™ technology, natural fibre composites can replace carbon fibres in high-end motorsport applications. Bcomp’s sustainable composite technology allows to achieve the same weight and stiffness as a thin-walled monolithic carbon fibre layup while reducing the CO2 footprint from cradle to gate by up to 85%, increasing safety for everyone thanks to a ductile crash behaviour without any sharp debris and offering viable end-of-life solutions rather than going to landfill.

    I would have put different music to this. But great shots, really superb work.

    How do you mix pre-preg cloth with dry power ribs and get the right resin ratio? are you adding resin infusion into the process while it is in the autoclave?

    How much would a whole body kit cost for an every day car like a 2020 fiesta for example?
