#140 EmpowerAX Day and SY-Wissenschaftstag 25 & 26 September 2024 WarmUp

Welcome to our newest podcast episode featuring the DLR - Institut für Systemleichtbau and its DLR Innovation Lab EmpowerAX of Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. Your host today is Ilkay Özkisaoglu, Co-Founder of Composites Lounge and after circling back to our grand interviews that we already conducted during JEC World 2024 and ILA Berlin - Pioneering Aerospace, we have more details for you. My guests are Maik Titze who will explain you why lightweight technologies require system designing in future and will introduce you to the new departments of DLR - Institut für Systemleichtbau in the field of innovation and sustainability. Developing the full sustainability potential of lightweight system construction is the main goal of the institutes new department "Sustainability Technologies". Dr. Steffen Opitz will introduce you to this new department and the exciting topics being researched here. These have not only been set-up to further develop circularity, but Karina Kroos will underscore the ambitious goals that have been formulated. Anyone who is in component manufacturing requires life cycle assessment. Sabrina Diniz will elaborate on this strategic topic that considers the current framework and conditions of DIN EN ISO 14040. These and more are the topics that you can immerse yourself in during the stage programme, which will be presented by various internal and external speakers at the DLR - Institut für Systemleichtbau Wissenschaftstag on the topic of "Sustainability and Resource efficiency through lightweight systems" on 26 September 2024. Steffen Opitz will name the highlights of this exciting day for you and will explain how you can be part of it. We will then dive into the topic of "Quality assurance and sustainability in fibre-reinforced 3D printing" together. This is the topic of this year's EmpowerAX Day of the DLR Innovation Lab EmpowerAX on 25 September 2024. Here we will find out why the topics of quality assurance and recycling in fibre-reinforced 3D printing are still associated with a number of challenges. Jan-Uwe R. S. is the expert on these topics. We will be rethinking the topic of recycling with Souvik Chakraborty, PhD and Dr.-Ing. Robert Hein will explain how simulation can assist both in process and quality management. Last, but not least I will be asking Xenia Sophia Köneke to run us one more time through this exciting day that she organizes with her team and most importantly what you as a participant can expect besides state-of-the-art technical know-how from Germany's flagship aerospace centre. Your take away from this podcast will be knowledge on the latest sustainability technologies and fibre-reinforced 3D printing that will be presented in much more detail from 25-26 September 2024.
