Nature often works with fiber composites. We can use these bionic principles to design bio-based, sustainable fiber composites. DITF and Arburg GmbH + Co KG are developing an energy- and material-saving 3D printing process for their production.
The DITF will be exhibiting at the medical technology trade fair MEDICA in Düsseldorf from November 14 to 17. At the joint Baden-Württemberg International booth, they will be presenting, among other things, new developments in the field of 3D printing, such as for bone replacements.
"WhiteCycle" has the goal of establishing a comprehensive and closed-loop recycling system for plastic waste. To this end, the DITF are developing a new synthesis process for processing recycled plastics.
Artificial intelligence helps to think about later recycling already during the development of products. The DITF and their partners are developing the appropriate tool in the CYCLOMETRIC project.
The most important aspects of digital textile printing: Online and on site in Denkendorf, the two educational partners are offering comprehensive training for the second time.
Flowering lavender fields could soon be seen on the Swabian Alb. When essential oil is produced from the plant, large quantities of residual materials are produced. The DITF are researching how to use them to produce fibers for textiles.
Professor Michael Doser was an important communicator and driving force at DITF for 32 years. He was particularly committed to the development and expansion of the biomedical engineering research area.
Detect defects already during the production process and prevent rejects: The DITF are developing a global "Industry 4.0 approach" for process management that already begins with yarn production and extends along all process chains.
Not only leg fractures and ligament strains are currently in season. Serious cuts are also a danger in skiing accidents. Cut-resistant ski undergarment protects against these. The DITF carry out material tests for the FIS.
Let's celebrate the textile future: One year late due to the Corona pandemic, the DITF celebrated 100 years of successful research and welcomed guests to the Haus der Wirtschaft in Stuttgart.
For the second time, the nova Institute for Ecology and Innovation honored outstanding scientific research. The DITF received the first prize with the topic "Carbon fibers from wood".
