The present disclosure relates to a method of molding a motor vehicle part, the motor vehicle part being made from thermosetting plastic material and including at least one metal insert having a shape allowing it to extend substantially through the entire thickness of the motor vehicle part, the method being characterized in that it includes the following steps placing the metal insert and the thermosetting plastic material in a mold, and molding the motor vehicle part comprising the overmolded metal insert, the metal insert being deformed at least at one mechanical weakening zone by closing the mold for molding the motor vehicle part.

Techniques for providing universal interfaces between parts of a transport structure are disclosed. In one aspect of the disclosure, an apparatus for joining first and second parts of a transport structure includes an additively manufactured body having first and second surfaces. The first surface may connect to a first part such as, for example, a panel. The second surface may include a fitting for mating with a complementary fitting on a second part.

A gas turbine engine component includes a tubular body section including a plurality of fiber wraps encompassed within a matrix composition and one or more integrally-formed stiffeners extending from an outer surface of the body section and in a component circumferential direction around the body section. The stiffener includes one or more fiber wraps extending radially outwardly from the body section over a form and to the body section from the form.

A method for manufacturing a sensor for a motor vehicle. The method includes placing a sensor core in a lower indentation of a mold; the sensor core having a metal lead frame, including connection pins and lateral retention members, and an integrated circuit, including at least one measurement cell and being overmolded on a support zone of the metal lead frame so the lateral retention members and the connection pins are exposed, and an electrically conductive terminal on each connection pin; placing a magnet in line with the overmolded integrated circuit; placing two lateral indentations of the mold on either side of the magnet and the integrated circuit so the lateral indentations retain the lead frame in the vicinity of the lateral retention members; overmolding the integrated circuit, the magnet and part of the lead frame to allow the free end of the terminals to project; and removing the mold.

A composite platform for an aircraft turbine engine fan includes a wall of elongate shape that is configured to extend between two fan blades. The wall has an aerodynamic external face and an internal face on which is disposed a fixing tab configured to be fixed to a fan disc. A method for manufacturing the composite platform includes the steps of: a) producing a preform by three-dimensionally weaving of fibers, b) unbinding some of the fibers of the preform to detach at least one longitudinal layer of fibers from the rest of the preform, c) inserting a metal reinforcement between this layer and the rest of the preform, and d) injecting a resin into the preform so as to form said wall and secure the reinforcement to this wall.
