What advantages do these new manufacturing processes bring over conventional methods in terms of production costs and sustainability?
Fischer: Our new manufacturing processes reduce production time by up to 40 %, which brings significant cost savings. Since we have less material waste and can do without the autoclave process, we are also more resource-efficient. Overall, these processes increase both the economic efficiency and sustainability of production.
What happens now with the MFFD shell?
Fischer: After successful completion, the MFFD shell was delivered to Premium Aerotec, where the final machining took place. It will now be transported to the Fraunhofer Institute in Stade for further processing. Finally, Airbus will validate the technologies in Hamburg. These are exciting developments and we look forward to driving progress in this area.
