Recently, Lucerne Automotive Composites and Fraunhofer Project Center have reached a new three-year agreement to continue to jointly develop lightweight composite technology and high-performance systems to meet the needs of mass production of automobiles. Composite technology helps to replace steel and other heavier materials to achieve lightweight vehicles.
Lucerne is the world's leading manufacturer and center of thermoset resins. Since 2013, it has been working with automotive manufacturers to develop high-performance materials and processing technologies that enable the manufacture of lightweight, high-strength parts, reduced overall vehicles, and improved gas. Mileage and performance. This collaboration has been successful in the commercial application of composite materials.
Stephenson Automotive Application Development and Technical Support Manager Steven said: 'This new agreement allows us to continue to work with the center to support application development using large-scale composite manufacturing technologies. As automakers seek to reduce vehicle weight, use new composite materials Technology replaces steel and other heavier materials, and is increasingly important for automotive design and production.'
The Fraunhofer Association is a public, non-profit, non-profit scientific research institution that develops new technologies, new products, new processes for enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, and assists enterprises in solving their own innovative and developing organizations and management issues. It is an important force in the development of national science and technology. It actively participates in the scientific and technological development projects of the European Union. It is commissioned by the German states and the federal government to carry out a series of strategic research in the areas of environmental protection, energy and health, which are of great significance to social development.
The Fraunhofer Project Center is able to work with major automakers to test the full production of materials and production components. Lucerne engineers are dedicated to helping automakers develop, test and integrate the latest technologies and materials into their new vehicles. The network of prototype experts, tool manufacturers and test companies is also working with Lucerne in this work. In cooperation with the Fraunhofer Project Center, Lucerne has perfected the rapid production of heat-resistant covers for large parts in the cycle. application.
