    Regenerative seat shell - sustainable and economical

    As part of a research project, EDAG Engineering and the Fraunhofer IMWS have joined forces with other partners at to create a child seat made from bio-based and natural fiber-reinforced plastics (bio-NFRP). The aim of this project is to develop sustainable lightweight components that can be manufactured economically in series production of...

    Additively manufactured electronics: a new perspective for lightweight mechatronic or electronic components

    In modern automotive development, innovative manufacturing technologies are increasingly coming to the fore. Additively manufactured electronics (AM) in particular offer promising potential for the integration of electronic components into mechanical parts, which not only increases design freedom, but could also revolutionize development and...

    Sustainability: between pressure and opportunity

    With industry-specific regulations such as the new EU End-of-Life Vehicles Directive and various reporting obligations, more and more companies are being forced to take a closer look at the issue of sustainability. The pressure along the supply chain is also growing. At the same time, a sustainability strategy and the associated improved database...

    Sustainable innovation: How detachable connections are revolutionizing the circular economy

    The increasing use of composite materials in industry poses new challenges for the circular economy. The reuse of these materials is particularly difficult. However, there is hope: through the intelligent design of components and the development of detachable joining technologies, composite materials can also be used to produce durable and...

    The EDAG lighting laboratory - for extra-wide designs

    Exterior lighting has taken on a new significance in modern vehicle construction. Decorative design elements are used as well as innovative signal lights. However, conventional measuring and test systems are not set up for lighting systems across the entire width of the vehicle. The EDAG lighting laboratory sets new standards here. Not least due...

    Passive safety and individualization through additive manufacturing

    Using the example of a transparent A-pillar and a motorcycle handlebar with structure-integrated cables, EDAG has researched how passive safety can be increased and individualization and greater freedom in component design can be achieved with the help of additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly more...

    Why children need special protection measures in the car and what we offer for them

    Children are not small adults - this sentence is especially true when it comes to car safety. The anatomical and physiological differences to adults require special protective measures to minimize the risk of injury in road accidents for children too. A child's head is larger and heavier in relation to its body, while the neck muscles and skeleton...

    From DNA to the drivetrain

    What if the design of an electric drivetrain no longer consisted of , a motor, a gearbox and a housing as well as the battery - but simply defined the path to the desired solution? The DNA as a "construction manual" for a generative development process pays off in particular when there is a large number of options to choose from or different...

    Batteries: Out of the Car and beneath the Roof

    As the battery in an electric vehicle ages, its capacity will eventually drop to below an acceptable threshold level. This does not, however, mean that the battery can no longer be used and needs to be recycled. There is still plenty of capacity for other applications. These batteries can still do more than ten years' service in electricity...

    Creating sustainable vehicles

    Does it make any difference to the climate which supplier delivers sheet metal or aluminum parts? Does the difference carry any weight at all? Or does the design still hold hidden potential for optimization with regard to sustainability and environmental friendliness? The Quick Life Cycle Assessment (QLCA) software developed by EDAG can answer...
