Major order for machining carbon fibre
Recent years, the use and processing of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) have become much more prevalent in the automotive industry: The use of high-quality lightweight materials, especially CFRP, also played a significant role in the development of a BMW model. The machine manufacturer HG GRIMME SysTech from Wiedergeltingen (Allgäu) won a tender from BMW AG to provide machines for milling CFRP frame components. After a year of intense development work, the first machine of the G-DT-F(33-18)SB-2Z type began operating at the BMW Group plant in Landshut.
