GRADEL PROUDLY PRESENTS

SUSTAINABLE LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING CENTER

The Gradel Lightweight division of Gradel Group Sarl is a unique worldwide special machine manufacturer of Hyper lightweight parts using robotic filament additive manufacturing. where experts work together on increasing knowledge of materials, their application, product design, and processing technologies. Our main objective is to understand the complex problems in lightweight in different sectors and create parts and ultimately a production line for our customers. We focus on enabling the use of thermoset composite technology in large-volume applications and on promoting the widespread adoption of additive manufacturing in composites through fundamental development.

We started our journey three years ago with the decision to qualify the endless filament wet winding process technology xFK in 3D initiated for Space Industry.  Funded by the Luxembourg Space Agency, supervised by ESA, in collaboration with the Luxembourg Institute for Science & Technology (LIST) and Thales Alenia Space and the associated partner’s Airbus Defence & Space and OHB Systems we have industrialized a first of its kind game-changing technology.

The outcome is the Gradel Robotic Additive Manufacturing (GRAM), an endless filament wet winding technology capable to combine all types of fibers (carbon mineral and renewable) with any resin matrix system. The materials are selected according to sustainable and circular economy criteria depending on each application.

The components to be manufactured are designed in a fully simulation-driven process with a bionic design “FORM FOLLOWS FORCE” and are produced on multiple-axis industrial robots by the means of GRAM.

This is our contribution to the actual global challenges for reducing the consumption of primary resources and energy to the max.

DATE: MAY 4TH

TIME: 5 TO 11 PM

LOCATION: GRADEL LW / ZAE ROBERT STEICHEN / 5, RUE BOMMEL / L-4940 HAUTCHARAGE / LUXEMBOURG

GRADEL INVITES TO THE  

OPEN DOORS FOR SCHOOLS EVENT 

To mark the Industrial Inauguration on May 4th and the 5th anniversary of the Luxembourg Space Agency (LSA), GRADEL Lightweight opens its doors to school groups (secondary and university) and invites to register for the Open Day on May 5th, 2023, at its premises in Hautcharage. 

This event is organized in collaboration with the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), our research partner. School classes have thus the opportunity to participate not only in a guided tour of the GRADEL Lightweight complex, but also of the LIST facility. 

We offer:  

• a 2-hour guided tour through the facilities of GRADEL Lightweight and LIST  

or 

• a fascinating 2-hour WORKSHOP at GRADEL Lightweight 

Grasp the importance of sustainability and discover how GRADEL is contributing to shape a sustainable future!  

DATE: May 5th  

TIME: AVAILABLE TIME SLOTS FROM 08:30 TO 17:00 PM 

LOCATION: GRADEL LW / ZAE ROBERT STEICHEN / 5, RUE BOMMEL / L-4940 HAUTCHARAGE / LUXEMBOURG
