Together with the Institute of Aircraft Design at the University of Stuttgart, we present the latest research in the field of lightweight construction and UV curing for fiber composites. Discover how UV technology is revolutionizing lightweight solutions for aviation, automotive and aerospace: On Wednesday, June 04, we will shuttle you from Nürtingen to the IFB for an excursion day. Numerous companies await you on site and provide insights into current projects and the latest research results. Discover the potential for joint developments and take advantage of valuable synergy effects between research and practice. The excursion day will be rounded off with a tour of the IFB.

On Thursday, June 5, we will take interested parties to the German Institute of Textile + Fiber Research (DITF) in Denkendorf. Spend the morning on a tour of the institute, visit the pultrusion plant, braiding plant, weaving mill, knitting machine and much more.

Our shuttle will then take you back to the UV Days in Nürtingen, where the excursion ends. Places are limited.
