Process in lightweight construction: Peter Dornier Foundation Prize 2024 honours new technologies for the direct production of shell-shaped complex 3D fabrics
An innovative weaving process makes it possible for the first time to weave near-net-shape fabrics for shell-shaped lightweight components in one piece without cutting and laying processes. This has the potential to revolutionize the production of fibre composite components for aviation and aerospace, automobile industry and the production of sports equipment. For this development Dominik Nuß, textile mechanical engineer from Dresden, has now been honoured with the Peter Dornier Foundation Prize 2024.
