Brain of Materials

Join our Application Forum at @techtextil_texprocess 2026 At TechTextil 2026, we want to do more than showcase a product. 
We want to bring together people who are shaping the future new defossilized material grades and being curious how to accelerate this with digital support - with real stories, shared insights, and honest exchange. This includes the opportunity to meet OEMs, brands, tiers and material manufacturers. That’s why we’re planning an exclusive Brain of Materials side event - just off the trade show floor.  🗓️   Thursday, April 23, 2026  
🕒   Starting at 15:00 – closing around 17:00 
📍   Portalhaus Messe Frankfurt, Room Frequenz 1

I Textile Musterungen für Automobil-Dachhimmel ____________ Das Unternehmen Freudenberg Performance Materials @freudenberg.group stellte im SS24 das Semesterthema für die Kurse „Gestaltung und Umsetzung“ bei Prof. Marion Ellwanger-Mohr und Anna Koch @annaa_koch . Mit angeregter Diskussion und viel positivem Feedback konnten die Studierenden des Design-Ingenieurs / Textil im FB07 der Hochschule Niederrhein Freudenberg ihre Ideen in den Endpräsentationen überzeugend vorstellen. Die Studierenden haben sich mit dem Zeitgeist und Themen wie Nachhaltigkeit, Trends der Heimtextil, Zielgruppen, diversen Marken der Automobil Branche und dem Design Thinking Prozess beschäftigt und in neue Ideen und Entwürfe umsetzen können. Unterstützung erhielten die Studierenden auch von Brain of Materials @brainofmaterials aus Mönchengladbach. Die Plattform für innovative und intelligente Materialien ermöglichte den Studierenden ihre Produktentwicklungsprozesse digital darzustellen; außerdem visualisierte BoM die Designs digital. Wir freuen uns auf den weiteren Verlauf des Projektes und bedanken uns herzlich bei den Unternehmen Freudenberg und Brain of Materials für das spannende Projekt und neue Erkenntnisse im Bereich des Automotive Designs. ____________ #hsnr #fb07 #textilundbekleidungstechnik #nachhaltigkeit #automobil #design #smart #innovative #freundenberg #brainofmaterials #designingenieur #digital #automotivedesign #textildesign #automobil #dachhimmel
