GroFi: Large-scale ber placement research facility Abstract: GroFi is a large research facility operated by the German Aerospace Center's Center for Lightweight-Production-Technology in Stade. A combination of di erent layup technologies namely (dry) ber placement and tape laying, allows the development and validation of new production technologies and processes for large-scale composite components. Due to the use of coordinated and simultaneously working layup units a high exibility of the research platform is achieved. This allows the investigation of new materials, technologies and processes on both, small coupons, but also large components such as wing covers or fuselage skins.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
