Collaboration towards the future – Development Center at Fraunhofer ICT
Beginning of 2009, long-standing cooperation partners Dieffenbacher and Fraunhofer ICT intensified their collaboration in the development of innovative fibre-composite solutions, creating an R&D alliance that takes into account innovative and advancing technologies. The relocation and development of the Technology Center, previously situated in Eppingen, will be complete by the start of 2010. From this point forward a Development Center located at a neutral site, is offering the opportunity to further developments of fibre-composite components in the compression molding technology.
The pooling of the activities of both institutions – from material and process research to product engineering and production-scale prototyping – harbours synergy effects that will lead to faster innovation and efficient transformation of research and development solutions into industrial products.
