Different techniques and production processes are suitable for the manufacture of fiber composite components. It is important to select the best possible process for the respective application. In some cases, it will be worthwhile switching from the processing methods used today to others. For such decisions, the basic know-how about the relevant options and advantages ... Read more
In the production of biocomposites, a matrix material (plastic) is processed with fibers as a reinforcing material, whereby at least one component must be obtained from a renewable resource by definition. This results in new sustainable materials that have exceptional mechanical properties and can be used in lightweight construction. Fibers made from flax, hemp or ... Read more
Automated tape laying processes are often used for series applications in the production of high-performance components made of fiber composites. Depending on their technological characteristics, these can be divided into Automated Fiber Placement (AFP), Automated Tape Laying (ATL) and Fiber Patch Placement (FPP) in order to meet the requirements of different industries. The selection of ... Read more
Economical, sustainable and flexible - this is how the production of fiber composite components should be in the future. But which technologies are best suited in each case and how can production be ideally designed? And how can the ecological sustainability of production and products be determined and increased? The seminar provides a basic understanding ... Read more
In the production of glass fiber-reinforced plastics, a matrix material (plastic) is processed with suitable glass fibers as a reinforcing material. This results in high-strength materials that are used in a wide variety of industrial sectors. The winding process and the pultrusion process allow the glass fiber to be inserted both in directions specifically specified ... Read more
Fiber-reinforced thermoplastics are becoming increasingly important for numerous industrial applications - from the automotive industry to aerospace and construction. Their combination of high strength, low weight and good recyclability makes them a key material for sustainable and efficient lightweight structures. At the same time, thermoplastic matrices open up new production methods, shorter cycle times and ... Read more
The diversity of fiber-reinforced plastics in terms of material composition, processing technologies and requirements for the final components requires a broad-based quality assurance system. This system ranges from the inspection of raw materials and process control to the destructive or non-destructive inspection of end products. The seminar provides an overview of various test methods for ... Read more
Pultrusion - an automated manufacturing process for fibre-reinforced plastics - benefits particularly from digitalization. Digital technologies can be used to make all process steps more efficient, from simulation and work preparation to system set-up and quality assurance. In work preparation, digitalization enables more efficient production planning, for example through digital tools for assembly planning, material ... Read more
