According to the latest results of a study carried out by Staufen and BDLI, which were also presented at this year's Paris Air Show, the German aerospace industry defends its advantage well in international competition. However, in order to remain competitive in the future, certain production processes must be continuously optimised.

  An intelligent and fully automated complete solution for honeycomb potting in the aerospace industry reduces the weight of the end product, significantly reduces labour and material consumption, and provides consistent, repeatable dispensing results.

The use of additive manufacturing processes is increasing within industrial applications, as they bring some significant customer benefits compared to conventional processes. Additive manufacturing is based upon the layered structure of a component. The production time therefore depends on the volume to be applied to the component. 

When it comes to electrically conductive materials, we are dealing with dispersions. They are generally referred to as electrically conductive adhesives, silicones or inks. The materials are divided into different areas: Epoxy resins, polyurethanes, silicones and acrylates. Epoxy resins in particular stand out due to their processing and material properties.
