Zusammenfassung:A component, having: a base having beads formed of with first and second thermoplastic polymers, respectively having first and second coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE), where each of the beads has an outer surface and an inner surface that abut each other; a lower support section formed on the base, having a mixture of a third thermoplastic polymer and a catalyst formed with metal; an upper support section on the component, formed on the lower support section via electrolysis deposition, a metallic coating, to thereby control thermal expansion and contraction of the component; and reinforcement fibers embedded the base, the lower support section and the upper support section.
