Center for Lightweight Production Technology

The DLR Center for Lightweight Production Technology (Zentrum für Leichtbauproduktionstechnologie; ZLP) has two research sites, which are located in Augsburg and Stade. Its main focus is the automated production of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) components for the aerospace, transport and energy sectors. Several DLR institutes work together at the ZLP: the Institute of Structures and Design, the Institute of Composite Structures and Adaptive Systems and the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics. This enables DLR to reproduce the entire CFRP engineering process chain – from the material to the automated production.

Sites

ZLP Augsburg


Das ZLP in Augsburg spezialisiert sich auf den Arbeitsschwerpunkt der automatisierten und qualitätsgesicherten Produktionstechnologie im Industriemaßstab und gehört als Abteilung zu dem Institut für Bauweisen und Strukturtechnologie in Stuttgart.

Site Stade


The ZLP in Stade is integrated into the building complex of CFK Nord with its partners Fraunhofer, Premium Aerotec, EADSInnovation Works, Dow Chemical and Airbus. It covers part-related technologies for fuselage production, wing production, the empennage and rotor blades as well as the automated RTM process, as this will be used for both automotive application and the frame production of aircraft.
