3D printing goes Motorbike

We are looking forward to the opportunity to showcase our latest Additive Manufacturing (AM) Project at IN(3D)USTRY fair on 16th October 2018 in Barcelona, Spain. The project deals with the hybridisation of generatively designed polymer parts. Therefore, we combine the high degree of design freedom of various AM technologies with the high performance properties of carbon fibres, benefiting from our 10+ years’ experience in fibre reinforced plastics. This extensive expertise enabled us to develop innovative solutions that are both lightweight and functional. 

The combination of AM technologies and carbon fibers opens up new possibilities in design and manufacturing. The high design freedom of AM technologies allows for the realization of complex geometries and structures that would not be possible with traditional manufacturing methods. At the same time, the mechanical properties of carbon fibers offer exceptional strength and stiffness, which are crucial for many applications.

Our technology demonstrator impressively shows how these two technologies can be combined to create innovative and high-performance components. By hybridizing additively manufactured plastic components with carbon fibers, we can produce parts that are both lightweight and robust, meeting the high demands of various applications.

Presenting our project at the IN(3D)USTRY trade fair in Barcelona gives us the opportunity to showcase our latest developments to a broad audience and receive valuable feedback from experts and professionals in the industry. We are eager to see the reactions and look forward to further advancing our innovations.

Overall, our project demonstrates the importance of continuous research and development in the field of composites and additive manufacturing. By combining these technologies, we can set new standards and shape the future of manufacturing.
