Polyurethane components produced by a Reinforced Reaction Injection Moulding process (PUR-RRIM) show a distribution of fibre orientation that results from production and therefore affects the mechanical properties. For non-destructive orientation measurement, microwaves and ultrasound are used to determine the influence of production parameters and to optimize both the simulation and the production process.
