Lightweight fiber composites like carbon are promising candidates for large-scale production in car manufacturing. With the “iComposite 4.0” research project, the Lightweight Construction Center in Aachen, Germany, (Aachener Zentrum für Leichtbau – AZL) has made remarkable progress in terms of economic efficiency. Schuler – a member of the ANDRITZ GROUP and the globally leading supplier of cutting-edge technologies in all fields of metal forming – had the role of consortium leader here.
