To be able to realize fibre arrangements that meet the calculated requirements concerning direction and accumulation of fibres, we developed the Tailored Fibre Placement (TFP)-Technology, numerical design methods and process software for computable complex fiber reinforced parts.

The reinforcement structure is produced by the lay up of a single roving. This roving is fixed by stitching to the base material. The base material can be a 2D-textile such as a woven fabric or for thermoplastic composites a matrix-compatible foil material. During the process, the stitching unit is stationary and the base material is moved using numerical control. more

Research and Development

• Production of textile stress-adjusted variable-axial reinforcement structures by TFP-Technology
• Use of unical methods for component design and modelling in connection with commercial finite element analysis applications
• Development and use of novel software tools, especially for the optimization of TFP-samples and processes

Consulting and further training

• In case of questions according to design and fabrication of variable-axial fibre composite components
• Professional seminars, master theses and graduations
