Thanks to the close cooperation between science and industry, it was possible to use natural fiber composites for the first time in the production of high-quality musical instruments. The VARI process (Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion) enables natural fibers to be processed in a resource-efficient and precise manner. The result is the Spock Bass\u2014an instrument that impresses not only with its excellent sound but also with its sustainable choice of materials and modern manufacturing technology.<\/p>
The Technology Transfer Award 2025 recognizes the outstanding achievement of both partners in successfully transferring innovative research results into industrial practice, thereby setting new standards for sustainability and quality in instrument making.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Institute for Polymer Materials and Plastics Engineering at Clausthal University of Technology and Marleaux BassGuitars are jointly delighted about being awarded the Technology Transfer Prize 2025. Their successful development and application of the innovative VARI process using natural fiber textiles, demonstrated with the Spock Bass, was recognized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":16847,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marleaux-bass.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marleaux-bass.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marleaux-bass.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marleaux-bass.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marleaux-bass.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17094"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.marleaux-bass.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17094\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17101,"href":"https:\/\/www.marleaux-bass.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17094\/revisions\/17101"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marleaux-bass.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marleaux-bass.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marleaux-bass.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marleaux-bass.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
