FOOTBRIDGE TO THE FUTURE
New footbridge across Lake Lugano proofs prime example for lightweight design and construction
In the Swiss canton of Ticino, two towns now connect our present with the future: the new footbridge across Lake Lugano between Bissone and Melide is truly a sight to behold. The futuristic project was initiated by a team of visionary people led by an institute of the Department of Innovative Technologies at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI). The construction of this pedestrian bridge is expected to be finished by the end of 2017.

Nominated for the German Future Prize 2016 are the Dresden professors Manfred Curbach, Director of the Institute of Massive Construction of the University of Technology Dresden, Chokri Cherif, Director of the Institute for Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology as well as Peter Offermann, chairman of the association Tudalit and member of the advisory board of the German Centre for Textile Concrete.
TOUCH-AND-GO
Practical degree course as a personal career springboard
Bachelor degree instead of career end. In keeping with this goal, Eckert School’s degree course “Fast Track” was created – especially for university dropouts. After a pre-study internship, the training as state-certified technologist is warranted, which is an important factor to the companies of the CCeV as well as to their contributors.

RUN 'N' ROLL
Filament winding plant for the manufacture of rotor blades
In close cooperation with its customer Enercon in Aurich, one of the technology leaders in the wind turbine sector, Roth Composite Machinery (formerly known as EHA Composite Machinery) from the Hessian town of Steffenberg developed Filament Winding Plants for the manufacture of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) rotor blade components for Enercon wind turbines.

NOT SO FINAL FRONTIERS
Model-based processing of high-quality structural FRPC components in aerospace industries
Fibre-reinforced polymer composites (FRPC) are increasingly gaining importance in aerospace applications. Especially due to economic aspects out-of-autoclave processes are of high interest. FRPC feature excellent mechanical properties but are also outstanding as the actual material is defined through the manufacturing process. As a result, the management of the manufacturing process is of extraordinary importance.

VIRTUAL WORLD
Manufacturing process simulation for autoclave tooling optimization
The design of autoclave molds is even today mainly based on the experience of the tooling designer. After the mold has been produced and tested the options for possibly required optimization are significantly reduced compared to those that could have been done during an early design phase. Thus the Tooling Evolution & Improvement Team of Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH introduces manufacturing process simulation (MPS) into the tooling design process.

TAILORED CARBON FIBRES
Scientists of the Research Center Carbon Fibers Saxony at TU Dresden start their work
Carbon fibres play an increasing role in numerous industrial sectors like the automotive and aerospace industry, in civil engineering, in the medical technology, and in sports. Thus, the Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK) and the Institute of Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology (ITM) of the TU Dresden established the Research Center Carbon Fibers Saxony (RCCF) in April 2016. Now research there has started.
