About International Congress Automotive Composites

The big challenge at the moment is to bring plastics reinforced with carbon fibre (CFRP), glass or natural fibres into volume production and reduce costs to come to automation, efficient processing technologies and shorter cycle times.

The variety and specialty of composites makes them not only demanding but also interesting versatility applicable. While simulation, testing and developments go on, appearing challenges and innovative applications shall be discussed at this year's conference about automotive composites.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Hear case studies on new processes to reduce costs and save time to get CFRP into mass production

• Discuss how to decide whether to repair or replace damaged structures and how to design for recycled material application

• Learn about challenges of the carbon fibre market to find cost-saving opportunities in manufacturing technologies and supply chain

• Benefit from new development of natural fibre composites for automotive applications to identify potential use in more demanding applications

• Hear case studies on solutions in simulating material behaviour to shorten development times and reduce costs when implementing new materials
