Scientific Research Assistant in the Field of Functionally Integrated Lightweight Construction with a Focus on Pultrusion

"Research for the Future" is the motto of our Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU. The pultrusion process stands out in fiber-reinforced composite manufacturing due to its cost-effectiveness compared to other manufacturing processes. In addition to very high mechanical properties of the structures that can be produced, it particularly scores in terms of sustainability. Innovative developments open up new applications ranging from the mobility sector to the construction industry. Despite the apparent simplicity of pultrusion-based manufacturing, there are...
