MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGY IN BALANCE.

The development of lightweight structures for the aerospace industry or transport and energy sectors always lies in one form or another at the heart of the work at the Institute. In the field of design and manufacturing technologies, the journey from the first design idea through to the finished component is viewed as one holistic process and this research field has been using digital processes to develop optimal solutions for more than 30 years. Alongside structural aspects, the specific properties of the materials being used and appropriate production technologies are already taken into account during the design phase. The main focus of this research is fibre-reinforced composites with thermoplastic or duromer matrices.

THE FOLLOWING GOALS ARE PURSUED IN THE AREA OF COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT:

Development and application of digital development paths for designing and optimising components
Development of functionally integrated construction independent of the type of material
Demonstration and validation via internal production and testing

THE FOCUS IN THE AREA OF TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT IS:

Consolidation of fibre-reinforced thermoplastics without autoclaves (vacuum and pressing process)
Thermoplastic in-situ tape laying (AFP process)
Welding processes for thermoplastic composites
