This project aims to make Carbon Matrix Composite brake discs more affordable and improve their quality through an automated manufacturing process. By enhancing production efficiency, the project seeks to increase adoption of these lightweight materials in the automotive industry.
Light-weight materials lead to a drastic weight reduction in vehicle components such as the braking system, improving fuel efficiency and vehicle performance.
The low density of Carbon Matrix Composites materials makes them ideal for light weight braking systems. CMC brakes are 50% lighter than traditional cast iron discs and their adoption could save up to 25kg/car.
They also reduce the braking distance by > 40%.
However, they are very expensive.
Their production cost (€500) and sales price (€7…
