This creates predetermined breaking points that can be opened in a targeted and controlled manner during later use. A classic example is the airbag in a vehicle: the interior trim is processed in such a way that it tears in an emergency, but only where intended.  <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||5px||false|false&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Methods and applications of weakening<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]Weakening can be carried out using different methods, such as laser processing or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geiss-ttt.com\/en\/glossary\/ultrasonic-cutting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"txt-highlight\">ultrasonic cutting<\/span><\/a> \u2013 depending on the material and application.
