Corrugated composites: production-integrated quality assurance in carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic sine wave beam production

Carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics offer the possibility for short lead times and dustless assembly in aerospace applications. However, their great potential for efficient processing to date is not entirely exploited. At the Center for Lightweight Production Technology (ZLP) in Augsburg smart au...
