hybridica showcases the entire value chain for the development and manufacture of hybrid components. That includes materials and semi-finished goods, tools, techniques, processes and finished hybrid products.

The advantages of hybrid components such as optimum use of resources, high levels of automation in manufacturing, reducing the number of assembly steps, integrating functions and reductions in weight are only possible through interaction between all individual areas.

 
The exhibition sectors at hybridica reflect this approach:

• Development and design, Tooling and mold making
• Semi-finished goods, intermediate products, materials
• Manufacturing methods, machinery and equipment
• Automation, surface technology, connection and joining techniques
• Hybrid components, hybrid lightweight construction, multimaterial components
• Research & Services
