Due to the threat from SARS CoV 2, the SAMPE Germany Symposium had to take place virtually this year for the first time. When Munich and thus TUM's LCC were chosen to host SAMPE Germany 2021, as usual, a two-day physical meeting was planned. Unfortunately, this could not be… [read more]

The project “Intelligent Structural Interior Composite Components with Textile Surface – InstInCT” has been launched at the Chair of Carbon Composites. The new project addresses the combination of effective, economical lightweight design with the economic integration of… [read more]

The aim of the project is the development of a coextrusion process of thermoplastic matrix material together with uncured thermoset impregnated continuous fiber strands in a controlled atmosphere. The aim is to achieve a material bond between the fibre strands in the component… [read more]

In order to achieve the goals for environmentally friendly aviation, the aviation industry must find energy-efficient and resource-saving solutions not only for the end products but also for their production. Composite materials such as carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP)… [read more]

The chair of Carbon Composites (TUM-LCC) is glad to take part to the first Joint Academy of Doctoral Studies (JADS) in collaboration with the Imperial College of London (ICL). This program focuses on the cross disciplinary research on artificial intelligence, robotics and… [read more]

At the Chair of Carbon Composites the project REUSELAGE for the process development of pressed long-fibre reinforced thermoplastics (LFT) made of recycled CF/PEEK tape residues starts. During the production of CFRP structures by Thermoplastic Automated Fiber Placement (TP-AFP) on… [read more]

The project „ECHTZEIT – Development of a high-precision robot system for automated optical inspections in AFP manufacturing systems“ has started at the Chair of Carbon Composites. Together with the project partner "Walter Seikowsky GmbH" an optical quality assurance system will… [read more]

In cooperation with the Australian National University, the Chair of Carbon Composites held its first hybrid symposium, combining digital and face-to-face participation. With 20 presentations from industry (AFPT, Airbus, BMW, CEAD, GKN, INOMETA, SGL, VICTREX) and science (ANU,… [read more]
