SMC is an excellent material for manufacturing automotive components with first-class surface quality. Its other main uses are in electronics, the construction and rail vehicle industry as well as replacements for steel and aluminum as structural components.

In conventional processing, mat-like semifinished parts are processed into formed parts within a flow process. In this domain, Dieffenbacher supplies sophisticated press technology and fully automated line technology including reworking of the components.
 

SMC and D-SMC are first-class composite materials and substitute steel, aluminum and hybrid components for structural parts and skin panels used in the bodywork and chassis.

• High degree of design freedom and high functional integration
• High-precision component manufacture, potentially for lightweight design
• Good crash properties and first-class surface quality
• Online/Offline coloring with excellent color matching
