Season 5, Episode 8 of “Kunnen we het maken?”. In this episode, we once again highlight research being done at TU/e—this time on a completely different topic: coreless filament-wound fiber-polymer composite structures. That might sound complex, but in essence, it's about lightweight, powerful components made by winding continuous fibers—such as carbon or glass—impregnated with resin around a temporary form or along a predefined path. Since no core or mold remains in the final structure, the result is a free-form, often organic shape. This technique allows for more efficient use of materials and greater design freedom. It is already being applied in architecture, aerospace, and the automotive industry. Today we explore this innovative subject with Marta Gil Perez, an expert in coreless filament winding. Marta is involved in several research projects at TU/e and is here to share her knowledge. But she’s not alone: Renske Rokx is also joining us. Loyal listeners may remember her as one of the regular voices from season 3. Today she returns not only as a co-host but also as a graduate student working under Marta’s supervision on this topic. She brings a dual perspective—as interviewer and researcher. Together, we’ll dive into this fascinating technology. What makes this method technically interesting? What challenges come with designing and constructing such structures? And what potential does it hold for the construction sector? You can listen to it all in this episode of “Kunnen we het maken?”
