About Lightbau Engineering
Lightbau Engineering is an engineering service provider based in Nürtingen near Stuttgart, specializing in bionic lightweight design and the optimization of mechanical components. Its service portfolio includes component development, component optimization (weight reduction, functional integration, part consolidation, contour-adjacent thermal conditioning), topology optimization, FEM and CFD simulations as well as CAD design. In addition, the company offers design expertise for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), bionic design and consulting on industrial 3D printing. Plastic and metal 3D printing are offered as a service together with manufacturing partners. The solutions are aimed at industries ranging from the automotive industry to aerospace. The goal of the developments is to make components lighter, higher-performing and more resource-efficient, thereby reducing CO2 emissions, increasing energy efficiency and lowering costs. Virtual engineering with simulations also shortens time-to-market.
