A highly competitive market requires the use of high performance metals and composite materials in combination with reduced manufacturing cost and time as well as a minimization of the time to market for a new product. However, the use of such materials is expensive and requires sophisticated manufacturing processes. An experience based process and tooling design followed by a lengthy trial-and-error optimization is just not contemporary anymore. Instead, a tooling design process aided by simulation is used more often. This paper provides an overview of the capabilities of MPS in the fields of sheet metal forming and prepreg autoclave manufacturing of composite parts summarizing the resulting benefits for tooling design and manufacturing engineering. The simulation technology is explained briefly in order to show several simplification and optimization techniques for developing industrialized simulation approaches. Small case studies provide examples of an efficient application on an industrial scale.}, language = {en} } @article{WeberRuffStahl2017, author = {Weber, Tobias and Ruff-Stahl, Hans-Joachim K.}, title = {Advances in Composite Manufacturing of Helicopter Parts}, series = {International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace}, volume = {4}, journal = {International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace}, number = {1}, issn = {2374-6793}, doi = {10.15394/ijaaa.2017.1153}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{WeberArentSteffenetal.2017, author = {Weber, Tobias and Arent, Jan-Christoph and Steffen, Lucas and Balvers, Johannes M. and Duhovic, Miro}, title = {Thermal optimization of composite autoclave molds using the shift factor approach for boundary condition estimation}, series = {Journal of Composite Materials}, volume = {51}, journal = {Journal of Composite Materials}, number = {12}, publisher = {Sage}, address = {London}, issn = {1530-793X}, doi = {10.1177/0021998317699868}, pages = {1753 -- 1767}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OttenSchmidtWeber2016, author = {Otten, D. and Schmidt, M. and Weber, Tobias}, title = {Advances in Determination of Material Parameters for Functional Simulations Based on Process Simulations}, series = {SAMPE Europe Conference 16 Liege}, booktitle = {SAMPE Europe Conference 16 Liege}, isbn = {978-1-5108-3800-0}, pages = {570 -- 577}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WeberTellisDuhovic2016, author = {Weber, Tobias and Tellis, Jane J. and Duhovic, Miro}, title = {Characterization of tool-part-interaction an interlaminar friction for manufacturing process simulation}, series = {ECCM 17, 17th European Conference on Composite Materials, M{\"u}nchen, DE, Jun 26-30, 2016}, booktitle = {ECCM 17, 17th European Conference on Composite Materials, M{\"u}nchen, DE, Jun 26-30, 2016}, isbn = {978-3-00-053387-7}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2016}, language = {en} }
