Lightweight engineering: when composite materials and joint development go hand in hand CIKONI joins ARENA2036 as a global driver of innovation in advanced materials Agile methodologies, entrepreneurial thinking and deep composites expertise will spark radical innovation in collaboration with network partners From hydrogen pressure vessels […]
Hydrogen storage as an enabler for sustainable mobility Hardly any other technology brings engineers and environmentalists together faster than hydrogen/fuel cell propulsion. After all, the vision of emission-free energy generation and use seems obvious: Theoretically, hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis with renewable energies without […]
The Factory of the Future at Swinburne University of Technology is pushing today’s boundaries in flexible automated composites manufacturing with their industry 4.0 lab in Melbourne, Australia. From a technology perspective, some of the key enablers for composites mass production are addressed by the team […]
To date, polymer-based additively manufactured structures have failed to gain a foothold in vehicle bodies due to inadequate mechanical characteristics. Now, Audi and CIKONI have presented an approach combining additive manufacturing with carbon fiber reinforcement based on a concept study. You can either review the […]
Meet us at the biggest exhibition on Composite Materials and Applications. We are looking forward to meeting you at our booth (Hall 6, P72) to discuss cooperations, applications and how CIKONI can accelerate you on your way forward. We will be presenting some new work […]
