Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), with their superior temperature resistance and low weight, offer ideal alternatives to metals and carbon fiber\u2013reinforced plastics (CFRP). One of the main reasons why this class of materials has so far struggled to move from research into widespread industrial application is the lack of adequate manufacturing technologies. The DLR spin-off project <strong>FOX Composites<\/strong> has therefore developed a novel manufacturing process that, for the first time, enables the reproducible, automatable, and scalable production of CMC components. This paves the way for broad industrial use. Key application areas are found particularly in high-temperature lightweight construction, such as in renewable energy generation, the aviation industry, defense technology, and especially the chemical industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:48px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/foxcomposites.com\/\">Website<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:71px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignwide has-parallax\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-top-left-radius:100px;border-top-right-radius:100px;border-bottom-left-radius:100px;border-bottom-right-radius:100px;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);min-height:360px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><div class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-6 size-large has-parallax\" style=\"background-position:50% 50%;background-image:url(https:\/\/accelerator.high-tech.nrw\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/accelerator_header.jpg)\"><\/div><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#2a3085\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-container-core-cover-is-layout-8cc6ce4b wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-fe9cc265 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">F\u00fcr uns von FOX Composites war es der erste Accelerator und wir k\u00f6nnten uns keinen besseren ausgesucht haben.
