When it comes to lightweight design with Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Plastics (CFRP), ­efficient series production is key to further establish this material class in more and more applications and industries. The production method of fibre placement – and automated, load-path optimised, material efficient laying and cutting of fibres – plays an important role, as this type of method is ideal for industrial production. To incorp­­or­ate the technology into more high-volume applications across industries and further improve efficiency and resource utilisation, SGL Carbon/DE and Fraunhofer-IGCV/DE founded the joint Fibre Placement Center (FPC) at the beginning of 2018.
