SGL Group and Fraunhofer IGCV have founded a joint Fiber Placement Center headquartered at the SGL location in Meitingen. System manufacturers Compositence GmbH and BA Composites GmbH have also joined the cooperative effort. The Fiber Placement Center will officially launch operations on March 6, 2018, with the presentation and opening at the JEC World trade fair in Paris.In the event of a demonstrated cost benefit, SGL Group may implement an industrial production of fiber-reinforced parts. Both dry and pre-impregnated fibers with or without thermoplastic matrix systems will be processed. This work is synergetic to the ongoing R&D activities performed by SGL’s Lightweight and Application Center in Meitingen, the research team from Fraunhofer IGCV in Augsburg and the Chair for Carbon Composites at the Technical University of Munich.
