LightPRO Shell

BioMat Team at ITKE Institute, University of Stuttgart under the direction of Jun.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. M.Eng. Hanaa Dahy | Project management: Evgenia Spyridonos

LightPRO Shell is an actively bendable structure made of biocomposite profiles. These are comprised of natural flax fibres combined with a bio-resin. The potential lies in its use as a load-bearing element in a variety of structural systems. The possibilities of this newly developed bamboo-like material are demonstrated in the real world in the form of a ten meter long canopy. The profiles can be recycled or transferred to other material streams.
