Hufschmied to host Aerospace Day 2025
Materials, processes, and current challenges in the aviation industry supply chain
Bobingen (Germany), June 18, 2025 – In cooperation with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the MAI Carbon cluster of Composites United e. V. (CU) and bavAIRia e. V., the association of Bavarian aerospace companies, Hufschmied Zerspanungssysteme GmbH invites participants to Aerospace Day 2025 on July 10, 2025. Under the motto “Bringing together what belongs together,” high-profile keynote speakers and other experts from industry and research will highlight the challenges currently facing OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers and how small and medium-sized companies in particular can optimally leverage their innovative strength and expertise. Exhibitors and practical live demonstrations will illustrate how production technology is responding to industry trends.
Topics covered at the Aerospace Day at the technology center of Hufschmied Zerspanungssysteme GmbH in Bobingen near Augsburg include the combination of materials, such as metals and CFRP, and the interaction between additive and machining processes. Live demonstrations will focus on efficient and stress-free aluminum machining using the example of an aerospace structural component, as well as the delamination-free machining of a CFRP component in a one-shot process that minimizes machining costs. Further demonstrations on 3D printing and machining of high-performance engineering plastics with special tools from Hufschmied will focus on the cost-efficient and process-reliable production of drone components.
Talks and discussions
The following keynote speakers have confirmed their participation in the event: Norbert Peer, Managing Director, Premium AEROTEC (Airbus), Andreas Ockel, Chief Operating Officer, FACC AG, and Dr.-Ing. Andreas Erber, Managing Director, Mubea Aviation GmbH. Andreas Gundel, Managing Director of bavAIRia e. V., will open with a keynote speech, and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Kupke, Professor of Fiber Composite Technology at the University of Augsburg and Deputy Director of the Institute of Structures and Design at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), will moderate a panel discussion.
