Composite Engineering and Process development

During development of composites, not only the component is developed, but from the outset, the appropriate manufacturing process and the resulting component mechanics need to be consistently taken into consideration. This poses special challenges to an interdisciplinary project team, but also to the detailed understanding of composite materials and their production technologies.

Whether prototype or serial component, CFRP or GFRP: We bring the required know-how to your project, which puts you at the top of the competition and prevents unnecessary design iterations through fiber-composite-specific development methods. We achieve this by means of consistent use of modern CAD and FEM software for design and calculation as well as preserving the confidentiality required in sensitive development projects.
