Abstract
A bionically designed plastic molded part is provided, in particular a carrier, for a motor vehicle, with at least one low-load region for accommodating relatively low loads, which is formed using thin-wall technology, and at least one high-load region for accommodating relatively high loads, which is formed using plastic foam technology and connected to at least one low-load region.
Claims21
A plastic molded part for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a low-load region adapted to accommodate a low load, the low-load region formed using a thin-wall technology;
- and
- a high-load region adapted to accommodate a high load that is greater then the low load, the high-load region formed using a plastic foam technology and connected to the low-load region.
A method for manufacturing a plastic molded part, comprising the steps of:
- forming a low-load region using a thin-wall technology, the low-load region adapted to accommodate a low load;
- and
- forming a high-load region using a plastic foam technology, the high-load region adapted to accommodate a high load that is greater then the low load;
- and
- connecting the high-load region to the low-load region.
