AVK Innovation Awards 2026 Recognise Thermoplastic Composite Drill, Robotic Mould-Free Forming and Prestressed Mineral Castings
Three innovations recognised at AVK Composites Awards
Executive Overview
AVK, the German Federation of Reinforced Plastics, awarded first prizes in three categories at the 2026 AVK Innovation Awards, presented at JEC Composites Talks DACH in Cologne on October 20th.
Manufacturing & Process Note
The shift toward thermoplastic composite bodies and mould-free robotic forming reduces scrap and tooling lead times, but shop floors must validate thermal stability and fibre alignment before scaling these processes beyond prototype runs.
