Description

Our experts are ready to introduce you to the secrets of lightweight design – a fascinating field within engineering science. We will show you how we intelligently combine novel materials in automated processes to create lightweight products as efficiently as possible. Learn how fibers and textiles are transformed into high-strength and rigid materials, and where they are used in practice.
For the young adventurers among you, we offer a special children’s program that is not only fun but also educational. We believe that even the youngest researchers can help shape the future. By sharing knowledge in a playful way and sparking imagination, we lay the foundation for an understanding of sustainability and innovation. From plastic recycling to building an airplane from lightweight materials – here, young explorers can unleash their creativity while also learning important lessons for life.
