With innovative design methods and robotic manufacturing of fiber composite structures, FibR GmbH is opening up a novel design and construction repertoire for high-performance and expressive fiber composite structures. The range of applications for these resource-efficient lightweight structures includes building construction applications, such as supporting structures and facades, modular lightweight systems for trade fairs and exhibitions, as well as furniture and products. We offer our partners services in all project phases from concept development, design and planning to robotic manufacturing and installation of fiber composite structures.
The underlying manufacturing strategies and structural principles have been developed in six years of research at the University of Stuttgart and enable us to transfer structural principles of natural lightweight structures to technical applications.
Our robotic winding process makes our components doubly resource-efficient thanks to waste-free additive manufacturing as well as load-oriented fiber deposition. We enable the use of a wide range of materials and thus the realization of expressively luminous fiberglass structures, high-performance carbon components, as well as sustainable products made of natural fibers. Applications of our technology include the wide-span supporting structure of the fiber pavilion at the Federal Horticultural Show 2019 in Heilbronn, the modular lightweight structure of the Urban Micro Climate Canopy in Frankfurt, as well as trade fair construction for the company Covestro AG. Our structures are thus used in different scales wherever particularly lightweight and load-bearing structures are required, which at the same time exhibit extraordinary design quality.
