SGL Carbon and Fraunhofer IGCV have acquired two new partners to their Fiber Placement Center (FPC), established by in Meitingen, Germany.
Cevotec, a fiber patch placement specialist aims to set up a pro prepreg processing line by mid-2020, while Coriolis plans to expand its Coriolis C1 robot-based fiber placement system.
‘The Fiber Patch Placement process is particularly suitable for complex shaped components while achieving short cycle times,’ said Thorsten Gröne, managing director of Cevotec. ‘Through joint projects in the FPC, we will further develop our technology and create new applications together with our partners.’
The FPC has over 500 m² of lab space with different machine making it possible to develop production concepts and demonstrate their feasibility by prototyping.
