S1E5: From the lab to the factory with Johan van Stuijvesant Meijen and Clemens Dransfeld

In this episode, we go to the foundation of aviation, the materials.But more importantly, what it takes to turn an idea into something that actually works in the realworld.How do you go from microscopic fibers to structures that carry people across the globe?I’m joined by Clemens Dransfeld, full professor within the departement of Aerospace Structures and Material with a focus of manufacturing and Johan van Stuijvesant Meijen a young robotic enigeer he works at the TU Delft fieldlab ofrobotics SAMXL.Together, we explore composites, manufacturing technologies, and the reality of scaling innovation beyond the lab.Because in aviation, the real challenge isn’t just inventing something new it is making sure the world is ready to use it.Let’s get into the conversation.
