ELECTRONICS Keyrou, the manufacturing arm of Xin Xiu Electronics Co. Ltd. (Dongguan, Guangdong, China), has produced more than 13 million Kevlar composite compo- nents used in Motorola Razr and Razr MAXX HD cellphones. CW got acquainted with the company, when it introduced its Evutec concept — with design and marketing operations in Walnut, CA, US — CAMX 2014 (Oct. 13-16, Orlando, FL, US). Evutec showcases Keyrou's unique design and composites technology capa- bilities. Evutec director of design David Rojas explains, "Most structures made for phones and electronics generally use 3D molding, which produces C-shaped edges [radii] because they are easy to remove from the production tools." Keyrou has developed its proprietary 6D process, that can achieve full encapsulation of all edges. According to Rojas, the "return fanges China-based molder markets mass-production capabilities via US branch are gorgeous. It uses laser cutting to remove the parts and enables seamless parts with fawless fnish, requiring no further gluing or assembly at volumes of up to 10,000 per day." Rojas adds that Keyrou is exploring where its advanced composite molding technologies might enable new applications, "for example, automotive, but also aerospace and mili- tary, where fbers like Kevlar are already well-proven."
