The so-called core-shell method for composites, which will be presented by Toray Engineering at the upcoming JEC World, is referred to as an innovative 3D printing process.

This is what it looks like when CFRP is processed using the core-shell method to improve composites. The Japanese company Toray Engineering will present this additive manufacturing process for the first time in Europe at JEC World 2024 in early March in Paris.(Image: Toray Engineering)

Toray Engineering Co., Ltd. from Tokyo will present its so-called core-shell method for 3D printing with fiber-reinforced plastics at JEC World 2024 in Paris from March 5 to 7, 2024. At booth 6S96, the Japanese developers of production equipment will demonstrate this innovation named "Core Shell Composites Material 3D Molding Machine". As the Japanese emphasize, it is a European premiere.

The method also referred to as the "core-shell method" for additive manufacturing of composites is thus a three-dimensional shaping process that improves the properties of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic components, as it is said.

This composite component was manufactured using the innovative 3D printing process called the core-shell method by Toray Engineering, as it is said.

The second machine being introduced is an AFP/ATL-3D forming machine (Automated Fiber Placement / Automated Tape Layup) with a pneumatically controlled parallel guidance mechanism. Toray Engineering also presents the analysis software 3D Timon – Compositepress, which simulates the flow and fiber behavior during the pressing process.
