Fiber Reinforced Plastics Specialist

Fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP)

Qualified personnel are needed to use fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) properly and fully exploit its innovative potential. These experts must know and understand the special properties of the material and have an overview of the interaction between the material and the manufacturing process.

Fraunhofer IFAM therefore offers a three-week course entitled “Fiber-reinforced plastic specialist,” which covers the entire range of materials and processes involved in the manufacture and repair of FRP.
