Lightweighting Processes & Related Technology for the Automotive Industry

WHY ADVERTISE IN LIGHTWEIGHTING WORLD MAGAZINE? • Lightweighting World is the only national and global magazine 100% dedicated to the one issue central

to the future of the automotive industry.

• Lightweighting World is the only media resource with a circulation specifically targeting OEMs, tier suppliers and related companies involved with engineered lightweighting applications and systems.

• Lightweighting World delivers solutions-driven content written by thought leaders and experts in the field.

• Lightweighting World offers multiple print and digital products that are specifically designed to maximize your company’s brand awareness, build market share and generate sales interest.

“Lightweighting is a universal approach because it can be applied to every system and every component and it amplifies the impact of other strategies. ” Jeffrey Sternberg, Global Automotive Technology Director, DuPont

“Lightweighting is going to be with us for a long time. Every manufacturer will have to leverage their entire palette of materials. ” Hesham Ezzat, General Motors Corporation

http://www.LightweightingWorld.com

THIS IS NO SMALL REVOLUTION. Lightweighting is impacting every sector of the automotive

industry including OEMs, Tier 1, 2 and 3 suppliers, R&D

materials and equipment specialists, designers, safety

engineers, as well as government regulators.

Specifically, global lightweighting materials will exceed $133 billion by 2019, with an annual growth rate of 8.5%. This includes metals, plastics and composites and their sub segments. The demand has increased from all types of vehicle manufacturers for lighter metals, such as high-strength steel and aluminum, to substitute conventional materials without compromising quality.

In parallel with the expansion of lightweighting materials is the critical need for new designs, equipment and process solutions for all levels of the automotive supply chain.

A multitude of solutions will be needed to meet the next round of fuel consumption and CO2 regulations. According to an IHS analysis, roughly 30% reduction in road load will be required in addition to massive adoption of advanced engine, transmission, and energy recovery (hybrid) technologies to achieve the 2020 and 2025 objectives for reduced greenhouse gas emissions set forth by European and U.S. regulators, respectively.

such as carbon-reinforced plastics (CFRP) and glass-reinforced plastics (GFRP) are gaining ground as a high-performance, lightweight alternative to metallic materials.

THE FRP PROCESSING CHALLENGE

Roding Automobile (Roding) ranks among the trailblazers in the process-ing of fiber-reinforced plastics. As a leading German-based manufacturer of lightweight, high-performance ve-hicles, Roding has high-level expertise in the development and manufacture of FRP products. Georg Käsmeier is the CEO and founding member of Roding Automobile GmbH. For him,

the early definition of part designs and material selection in the 3D computer-aided design (CAD) system is key. “In mass production, basically only the kinds of materials that are defined in the designers’ 3D CAD systems can be used cost-efficiently,” Käsmeier says. “Fiber-reinforced plastics pose a particular challenge here. The flat textile-like mats must be draped and preformed correctly, and only then, while taking account of the fiber architecture, is a usable part feasible. Now, a calculation of the material proper-ties based on the designed fiber architec-ture to determine strain and deformation is interesting. These complex processes can only be mastered with know-how and the right software tools.”

For mastering the complexity of designing, analyzing and manufactur-ing FRP products, Roding relies on the Fibersim™ portfolio of software for composites engineering, from product lifecycle management (PLM) specialist Siemens PLM Software. “We decided in favor of Fibersim as the key link between 3D CAD, performance calculation and produc-tion,” says Käsmeier. “The software is seamlessly integrated in our existing-design and production processes. What’s more, it’s easy to operate. As the software developer, Siemens PLM Software is a capable partner for on-going development.”

THE POTENTIAL OF ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS

Up until a few years ago, steel was the material of choice across most manufacturing industries, especially in the automobile industry. Designers had this material firmly fixed in their materials databases. The need for in-creased energy efficiency has led to an increased demand for lighter-weight vehicle and alternative materials used

to manufacture them. Aluminum and magnesium, as well as a range of innovative plastics including fiber-reinforced plastics, are becoming more and more common in the repertoire of many designers. The advanced functionality of state-of-the-art 3D computer-aided design (CAD) systems makes precise calculations and detailed design of these materials possible. As a result, fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP)

CASE STUDY»By Siemens PLM Software
