Composites for the Future – Lightweight Construction, Innovation, and Sustainability in Design

Composite materials are the key to lighter, more sustainable, and more efficient products. In the advanced training course “Einführung in die Verbundwerkstoffe” you will learn how to exploit the full potential of fiber-plastic composites and develop innovative design methods. From laminate construction to advanced simulation techniques, you will learn everything you need to know about sustainable components on 24 – 25 March 2026, in Kaiserslautern.

Understanding Composites for the Future
Composites are now indispensable in many industries, from aerospace to automotive. In the “Introduction to Composites” training course, you will learn how fiber-plastic composites are used to reduce weight, increase stability, and improve production efficiency. You will learn about the mechanical properties of composites and how different fibers and matrices influence material performance. 

Practical Application and Modern Testing Techniques
Theory meets practice – this is a central component of this training course. In practical exercises, you will learn how to test and analyze the mechanical properties of composite materials. This also includes modern testing methods for quality assurance and component failure analysis. 

Another highlight is materials analysis. You will learn how to use modern techniques to determine the composition of composite materials and thus draw conclusions about their mechanical properties and load-bearing capacity. 

Simulation and Design Optimization With FEM
Another focus is the finite element method (FEM), which you can use to simulate composite structures and optimize your designs before production. This saves time and costs in product development and ensures better results. 

Practical Exercises and Expert Exchange
The training course is rounded off by practical laboratory experiments and computer exercises. Here you can apply your knowledge directly and deepen what you have learned. Throughout the event, you will also have the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts and colleagues, ask questions, and gain new perspectives. 

Your Opportunity for Sustainable Innovation
Take advantage of this training course to expand your knowledge and optimize your designs with innovative composite materials. Develop products that meet the requirements of the future – lightweight, stable, and sustainable. Register today!
