Niels Modler, Geschäftsführer des SFB 639 (Mitte), Dipl.-Ing. Daniel Weck (2.v.re.) und Dipl.-Ing. Bernhard Maron (re.), wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter am ILK sowie Designer Nils Poschwatta (li.) den Funktionsintegrativen Fahrzeugsystemträger (FiF) erstmals der Öffentlichkeit.
The Final Specialist Colloquium was held in Dresden in December 2015 and saw participating scientists present the results of research carried out within the framework of SFB 639. SFB 639 involved the cooperation of a total of 16 Dresden-based research institutes under the leadership of the Institute of Lightweight Engineering and Polymer Technology (ILK). Scientists from the Faculty of Mechanical Science and Engineering and the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering (both part of TU Dresden) worked alongside researchers from the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems, the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology and the Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research.
Project spokesman Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Werner Hufenbach underlined the historic importance of SFB 639: “Back in 1998 even the experts viewed us with a sceptical eye as we began turning our initial ideas into what eventually became SFB 639. No-one could even imagine that a motor vehicle might one day be made of textiles. The FiF – our function-integrating vehicle system demonstrator – shows just how important it is to keep your visions facing forwards. The fundamental technologies we developed during SFB 639 are now ready to be transferred to the industrial applications of the future.”
The Rector of TU Dresden, Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Hans Müller-Steinhagen, was also keen to stress the project’s importance: “SFB 639 has made an exceptional contribution in terms of both strengthening and increasing the visibility of Dresden as a centre for science. The Final Specialist Colloquium is therefore not the finish line – it is the starting block for new, innovative research projects which build on the results achieved by SFB 639.”
Special research project SFB 639 was established by the German Research Foundation (DFG) in 2004 and drew to a successful close at the end of 2015.
