Stringer Sheet Forming for Car Body Construction (T07#)

• Subject Area: Primary Shaping and Reshaping Technology, Additive Manufacturing
• Term: from 2017 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 13000367

In this transfer project, the basic knowledge of stringer sheet forming and the fundamental design methods developed within the Collaborative Research Centre 666 are transferred and expanded in cooperation with an industrial partner in order to produce three-dimensionally shaped, branched car body parts on an industrial scale. The aim of the project is to develop an industrial design methodology for process chains for manufacturing these car body sheet metal structures. The approach is industrially validated by a sheet metal prototype developed and manufactured within the project.
