The 18th International Dresden Lightweight Engineering Symposium takes place at the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum from 26 to 27 June 2014.
This year’s symposium focuses on the topic “Innovative Lightweight Solutions as the Key to Strengthening Industrial Locations” (“Innovative Leichtbaulösungen als Schlüssel zur Standortstärkung”) in global competition.
Held since 1997, the Lightweight Engineering Symposium is organised by the Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK) at Technische Universität Dresden under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Werner Hufenbach.
In his capacity as a member of the VDI technical committee “Production Technology for Fibre Composite Materials” (“Produktionstechnik für Faser-Verbund-Werkstoffe”), Dr.-Ing. Erwin Bürkle gives a lecture centred on the question of the current state of the art of this group of materials and what the future of fibre composite materials could look like.
