The analysis of the processes and their further developments, which were also implemented in the MAI Carbon projects in particular, showed that the new production technologies enable significantly greater cost reductions than expected. In addition to the basic scenario at the start of the cluster, two further variants and their combination with each other were analysed (cf. Figure 1). On the one hand, the halving of fibre prices and on the other hand technological developments that make production more efficient were investigated.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-95358c7 ado-mobile-spacing elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"95358c7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0eeed70 elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"0eeed70\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slideInLeft&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ffa7f0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5ffa7f0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">The study has shown that for small series (5,000 units per year) production costs of approx. 40 \u20ac\/kg CFRP can be realised. Starting with medium series, where plants are used to an average of over 60% capacity, production costs of 18 \u20ac\/kg CFRP component can be achieved for the manufacture of 1 kilogram CFRP component. This shows that MAI Carbon has largely achieved its ambitious technological goals thanks to the innovative ability of its partners.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">The full publication of the results can be obtained from MAI Carbon.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4099830 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4099830\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1ac8847 elementor-hidden-phone elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"1ac8847\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slideInRight&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-58351e0 ado-mobile-spacing elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"58351e0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d50d11d elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"d50d11d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;slideInRight&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddee8ab elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"ddee8ab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;hosted&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;play_on_mobile&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;mute&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-hosted-video elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<video class=\"elementor-video\" src=\"https:\/\/composites-united.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/MAI-Carbon-Balkendiagramm-EN.mp4\" autoplay=\"\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"\" controlsList=\"nodownload\"><\/video>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26a48f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"26a48f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Figure 2: Comparison of CFRP production costs: Start (NCF-RTM process) of the Leading-Edge Cluster MAI Carbon compared with today (technological and energy-related further developments + material cost adjustments).<\/h6>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leading-Edge Cluster MAI Carbon achieves cost target The Leading-Edge Cluster MAI Carbon set itself ambitious technological goals at the beginning of its term.
