| 20080206522 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A WINDSHIELD HAVING A PROTECTIVE LAMINATE - Protective laminate films protect an underlying windshield from damage due to impacting rocks and other debris. The protective laminate films generally include a flexible polymer substrate having a scratch resistant coating and an adhesive layer on opposing surfaces thereof.

The shell-like structural component comprising the first material is cooled in another step such that an internal stress is generated within the shell-like structural component resulting in a bending of the shell-like structural component. This further relates to a shell-like structural component which is manufactured by a method using additive layer manufacturing. | 05-19-2016 |
