Bionic Aircraft

Today is the day. After a lot of work we are happy to show you the Bionic Aircraft imagefilm. Enjoy watching :) #AdditiveManufacturing #ResourceEfficiency #H2020 youtu.be/Zzg6TS-_yLI via @YouTube

Last week we recorded a Bionic Aircraft image film together with the filmmaker Sensu Amsterdam (sensu.org). In addition to interviews with Fraunhofer IAPT and @cenitAG employees, the film will also show scenes of our #3dprinter. #filming #AdditiveManufacturing

Interested in the latest results of our #EUfunded projects? Then subscribe to our newsletter or download the latest issue from May here: bionic-aircraft.eu/publicati… In the last one Fraunhofer IAPT, @HexagonMI and results on quality inspection of #AdditiveManufacturing are presented.

Check out our new project leaflet! It summarizes our latest research results in the fields of #bionic #design & optimization, high strength aluminium, #Productivity and #efficiency of #AdditiveManufacturing and #quality control for AM. 🌐 bionic-aircraft.eu/publicati… #H2020 #Aircraft

Ever wondered how to avoid stress peaks and cracks in sharp edges of a part? We use the method of tensile triangles developed by Claus Mattheck. In #nature, you can find this stress relieved rounding e.g. in tree trunks, bird bones and icebergs. #Engineering #bionic #innovation

The main challenge in the in-line #quality inspection of #3Dprinted parts is the complete #automation of the control of both the geometry and internal defects. We chose a structural light #sensor to control the geometry and #ultrasonic to check the defects. #AdditiveManufacturing

We implemented a function to generate a QR-Code on the surface of a part in #Catia V5. The 3D printed QR-Code can be scanned even with a #smartphone on a 3D printed part. #AdditiveManufacturing #3Dprinting #innovation #technologynews #technology #Science #CAD #EU_project #H2020

@Cenit develops parametric designed #bionic features and a feature recognition in #CATIA V5 within our #EU_project. The feature recognition analyzes the output from a topology optimization and inserts appropriate features to reach a more reliable and mature #design faster. #H2020

@Tekna_Plasma, part of our project consortium, is located in #Mâcon, France. Our consortium will meet there from March 12th to 13th to discuss the latest results of the #EU_project to drive resource #efficiency in #aviation. #H2020 #innovation #technology

#ScienceToGo You can find many hexagonal arranged structures like honeycombs, insect eyes or turtle shells in #nature. It's very stable because the walls support each other. In #lightweight applications we use it to stiff surface areas. #Aircraft #TechnologyNews #Science #Bionic

#ScienceToGo #additivemanufacturing enables great #lightweight potential for structural parts and a reduction of material waste during production. With high strength aluminium #materials even greater weight saving is possible. #TechnologyNews #efficiency #innovation #Aircraft

#ScienceToGo Gass stalks are exposed to bending loads caused by wind an normal loads caused by eras. The inner structure consists of two rings connected by T-shaped elements. We use the principle for a bentproof #lightweight #design of struts. #nature #bionic #Technology #Science

#ScienceToGo What is meant by #bionic? The term bionic is a combination of the words "bios" (life) and "-onics" (study of). In our case we mean the transfer of biological principles to #technology, also known as #biomimetics. #biology #TechnologyNews #Science
