How We Made It Happen
20% Lighter Component Design
- Visa Cash App RB provided CAD files and detailed specifications, including load cases. Continuous fiber paths were digitally optimized to reduce weight significantly by 20% while ensuring full structural integrity.
Intelligent Fiber Orientation
- Holy Technologies’ IFP technology places fibers with precision on double-curved 3D geometries to address specific load cases. Reinforced holes, undercuts, and localized thicknesses are seamlessly integrated into the preform—without added complexity.
Closed-Loop Recycling In Action
- The original component was fully recycled, with its materials repurposed for new design iterations. Second-life fibers were used for mirror casings, meeting the same high-quality standards, even in their next application
Design Optimization
- Visa Cash App RB provided CAD files and detailed specifications, including load cases.
- Continuous fiber paths were optimized to achieve significant weight reduction while maintaining structural integrity.
Advanced Fiber Placement
- Holy's Infinite Fiber Placement (IFP) technology precisely placed fibers on the double-curved 3D geometry to handle specific load cases.
- Reinforced holes, undercuts, and localized thickness adjustments were seamlessly integrated into the preform design.
Sustainability in Action
- The original component was fully recycled, with materials repurposed for new design iterations.
- Second life fibers were reused for mirror casings, meeting the same high-quality standards, even in their second life.
