The Dutch Brainport region Eindhoven has been cooperating with the southern German state of Baden-Württenberg for some time now, e.g. in the field of mobility. But there is close contact in the field of big data and the development of industry as well. This close cooperation will soon be followed up in a physical form on the Brainport Industries Campus (BIC).

Materials for aircraft must be highly resilient and at the same time as light as possible. Offering both, carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) have been used more and more frequently in aeroengine fan blades. (See “Rolls-Royce starts manufacture of world’s largest fan blades”). However, production of these components is very time-consuming and expensive because they have to cure for several hours in the autoclave. A research team from the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT, Aachen, Germany) is seeking to automate the production of CFRP fan blades even further.
The production of many CFRP components is already partially automated. Pre-impregnated semi-finished prepregs typically made from fiber-reinforced epoxy resin are applied and oriented in thin layers to create a tailored layup. This is then cured under pressure and heat in an energy-, cost- and time-intensive autoclave process. Fraunhofer IPT has been resear
