#152 Composites Lounge Engineering Talks No. 3: Sporting Goods Industry
08.02.2025 84 min Staffel 5 Episode 110
Zusammenfassung & Show Notes
Welcome to our 3rd edition of the Composites Lounge Engineering Talks (CLET). This edition is all about requirements on composite materials for the sporting goods industry, including carbon bikes, hockey sticks and the like.
This episode is brought to you by our CLET Premium Partner: sensXPERT - Optimizing Plastics Manufacturing represented by Arne Büttner, Sales Engineer and polymer expert.
Select experts from academia, like Prof. Dr.-Ing. Marc Siebert, consulting Yannick Willemin - The Composites Catalyst and OEMs like Sven Terhardt and Jan Philipp Hollmann, both representing igus GmbH, a major name in plastics.
These are some of our topics discussed:
1. why are composites so important in the sports industry?
2. what challenges are there in the manufacture of composite sporting goods? 3. how can cycle times be reduced in the production of sporting goods?
4. in which sports areas are the greatest potential for composites and smart manufacturing technologies?
5. what role does sustainability play in composite production for the sports industry?
In conclusion:
Faster production cycles thanks to adaptive process control Increased process reliability through real-time monitoring Reduced material and energy consumption, which lowers costs and environmental impact Process Transparency and quality control Better reproducibility for consistently high quality were demonstrated.
A best practice is the full plastics bike invented by IGUS GmbH, in which Sven and Jan are showing us with great behind-the-scenes material. Please leave your questions and comments below and our panel will answer those by tomorrow.
Get in touch with Ilkay, if you consider joining our mission of CREATINGS SUSTAINABLE VALUE.
Our three formats are
1. Composites Lounge Engineering Talks (monthly LinkedIn Live Video and Podcast about enduse applicatons)
2. #Composites360OnTour (soon at JEC World 2025, save your spotlight slot) 3. Composites Lounge Enduser Panels powered by JEC (our contribution at subject matter exhibitions, conferences, shows, venues, events covering the entire value chain, from raw material, components to the Enduser)
Happy networking
