9 Cut-off Reuse, efficiency of material management Anticipate a material efficiency strategy with the part Designer Maximum CF ADDED VALUE (2) (1) : For complex geometry parts, CF (Continuous Fibers) layers are partially used in the part, the overall down cycling and the cut-off level (ex. 60% ) are liaised. Optimum Downcycled (1) (3) (2): The optimum added value and efficiency are obtained by reducing the numbers of CF layers, which are combined with a material made from the cut-offs (ex. inertia compensated by ribs). Ex. 60% 100% MATERIAL RESSOURCE EFFICIENCY (3) : Keeping the part design with only CF Layers, the way to reach a good material efficiency is to generate a C-SMC for another part (2) : M77 Multi- layers cut off transformed in C-SMC for an hybrid construction UD layers C-SMC filling ribs Hybrid construction, ~ 100% material efficiency Cut-Offs C-SMC Stacks and re-use combination for an efficient technology 8
