While the intelligent and requirement-optimized design of a component is responsible for the technical success, the tool and mold systems have a considerable influence on

The “Thermoplastic Composites” working group deals with all issues relating to the processing of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastics. The entire process chain is considered, from the

For some time now, there has been a drive to manufacture high-performance fiber composite components wherever conventional construction materials have reached their limits. Due to

For a long time, fiber composite applications were characterized almost exclusively by small quantities, low volumes and preferably artisanal processes. The following stood in the

The research field of additive-generative manufactured components is very broad and currently encompasses the entire value chain from process and equipment technology to materials and
