Core competencies

We concentrate on two application fields in which composite materials show their strengths most clearly: aerospace and defense.

Aerospace

structural and fairing components for aviation. Every kilogram saved translates directly into range, payload and operating costs. At the same time, high demands apply to traceability, process documentation and reproducible quality across the entire series.

Defense

components and assemblies for defense applications. Alongside the weight advantage, mechanical resilience, protection against environmental influences and robust series capability come to the fore.

From concept to series part

Ein Composite-Bauteil entsteht nicht durch Übersetzung einer Metallkonstruktion in Faserverbund. Der Werkstoff ist anisotrop – seine Eigenschaften hängen von der Faserrichtung ab –, und das eröffnet Möglichkeiten, die eine reine Substitution verschenkt. Wir begleiten Bauteilprojekte deshalb über die gesamte Entwicklungskette:

wethje-development-circle-EN
  • Conception and Feasibility Study Developing lightweight solutions and concepts with composite materials and in combination with metals
  • Detailed Design Detailed part design based on the feasibility study, taking specific processing requirements into account
  • Crash Simulation Complex dynamic simulations with fibre reinforced plastics
  • Prototyping Design of prototype tooling and production of prototypes close to serial parts
  • Part Evaluation Design of testing equipment, evaluation of prototypes against the requirement profile, verification of simulation results
  • Production Concepts Design of production concepts in close cooperation with manufacturing
  • Part Manufacturing and Assembly Parts in glass or carbon composite, using autoclave or press technology

The advantage of this continuous chain lies in the feedback: findings from prototyping and testing flow straight back into the design before series tooling is commissioned. Errors are corrected where correction is still cheap.
