  • QuasiPuR

    The goal of the project is to develop a quality assurance system for the continuous pultrusion process used to manufacture fiber-reinforced plastic profiles. Using X-ray CT technology, pultruded products will be measured in-process (inline), and the generated measurement data will be automatically interpreted to immediately identify, classify, and quantify defects.

  • OSLAPRO

    The project „OSLAPRO - Optimization of the SLA process using non-destructive testing methods for the targeted manufacture of components and injection molds” (BAB: Funding of Research, Development and Innovation (EFRE-FEI), application number: 65008333) started on 1 July 2025. The project involves collaborative research and development with Kolbes Messtechnik OHG. The project develops a data-driven, methodologically robust approach to improving SLA (stereolithography) mold inserts for Freeform Injection Molding. It links process parameters, material behaviour, and defect mechanisms. The aim is to speed up industrial readiness and achieve reliable, long lasting tool performance.

  • SEHRKALT

    The goal of the SEHRKALT collaborative project is to develop, integrate, and validate cryogenically compatible fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors for monitoring CFRP cryogenic tanks for liquid hydrogen. The sensors are designed to enable high-precision temperature and strain measurements in the temperature range from 20 K to 120 K and to be permanently integrated into […]

  • X-Stör

    The X-Stör project is developing a modular, multisensor inline detection platform that supplements the existing WasteAnt technology with X-ray transmission (XRT). By combining XRT, RGB, and 3D profile data, the platform aims to detect concealed contaminants and hazardous substances more reliably and provide additional information on material, density, and calorific value to ensure safe and stable plant operation.

  • CryoMet

    The overarching goal of CryoMet is to provide technical solutions for materials, processes, testing, and fire protection, as well as the necessary evaluation and documentation for flight testing of the liquid hydrogen propulsion system. These technical solutions are mandatory prerequisites for obtaining aviation regulatory approval for the flight test.

  • OntOMat

    OntOMat entwickelt eine harmonisierte Ontologie und einen Knowledge Graphen für faserverstärkte Materialien und deren Fertigungsprozesse. Ziel ist eine maschinenlesbare, skalenübergreifende Datenbasis, die reale Messdaten, Prozessinformationen und Simulationsmodelle verbindet. Im FIBRE-Teilvorhaben roMBoMat werden dafür röntgenbasierte 3D-Bild- und Analysedaten zur SMC-Materialklasse erzeugt und in die ontologische Beschreibung überführt.

  • FOR3022

    The goal of the FOR3022 research group is to develop a system based on guided ultrasonic waves (GUW) for monitoring the structural condition of fiber-metal laminates (FML) with integrated sensors. As part of the FOR3022 project, the Fiber Institute is investigating the propagation of GUW under the influence of internal (residual stress, MVF) and external (temperature) conditions. Furthermore, a temperature compensation method is being developed that will enable damage detection using GUW at all relevant temperatures.
