TGM Lightweight Solutions GmbH Hans-Peter Dahm gegründet. Das unterschiedliche Branchen-Knowhow unserer Berater gewährleistet zudem branchenübergreifenden Wissensaustausch.

Die TGM Lightweight Solutions GmbH ist ein Ingenieurberatungsunternehmen mit einer einzigartigen Spezialisierung auf ganzheitlichen Leichtbau zur Fahrzeug- und Systemoptimierung mit begleitender Konzeptentwicklung und FEM-Struktursimulation. Die TGM GmbH ist ein Beratungs- und Entwicklungsunternehmen mit den Schwerpunkten Technisches Gewichtsmanagement (TGM Beratung) sowie Softwareentwicklung (TG

M Software) und wurde 1997 als Einzelunternehmen mit Sitz in Berlin von Dipl.-Ing. Beratung
TGM berät große Flugzeugbau-, Schienen- und Straßenfahrzeughersteller im Bereich Gewichtsmanagement, speziell bei der Lösung von Gewichtsproblemen sowie bei der Optimierung von Gewichtsprozessen. TGM analysiert vorhandene Konstruktionen, ermittelt und bewertet Gewichtspotenziale und Risiken, bringt neue Technologien in die Anwendung und bewertet die Kostenauswirkungen. TGM arbeitet nach eigens entwickelten Management- und Coaching-Ansätzen, die genau auf das Thema Gewichtsmanagement, Projekt- und Prozessmanagement abgestimmt sind und auf langjährigen Erfahrungen beruhen. Die neuesten Erkenntnisse aus Forschung und Entwicklung werden durch eine enge Zusammenarbeit mit den entsprechenden Institutionen stets berücksichtigt. Software
TGM entwickelte eigenständig spezielle Softwarewerkzeuge zur Unterstützung des Gewichtsmanagements im Fahrzeug- und Flugzeugbau. Weight Data Tool v.2 wurde speziell für den Einsatz im Schienenfahrzeug- und Nutzfahrzeugbau entwickelt und wird bei unseren Referenzkunden Bombardier Transportation und Siemens Transportation in der Praxis eingesetzt. Innerhalb der letzten 3 Jahre wurde das WDT speziell an die Anforderungen im Bereich Light Rail Vehicles (Straßenbahnen) angepasst und wird aktiv im Bereich Gewichtsmanagement beim Kunden Bombardier eingesetzt. SMART ACT wurde speziell für den Einsatz im Flugzeugbau zur Gewichtsanalyse in der frühen Entwicklungsphase (Future Projects) konzipiert. Das Tool wird aktiv bei Airbus im Bereich Future Projects eingesetzt.

A breakthrough ultra-lightweight seat concept replaces traditional metal + foam assemblies with a fully load-bearing CFRP structure—redefining what “a seat” actually is.

Developed by partners like CSI Entwicklungstechnik, Alba Tooling & Engineering, and AMC, the seat was built in just 7 months and weighs only ~10 kg.

1. xFK in 3D filament winding → fibers placed exactly along load paths
2. Integrated design → structure + ergonomics in one system
3. Minimal joints → fewer parts, higher efficiency

Instead of replacing steel with carbon fiber, the entire architecture is rethought from the ground up.
Less material. Better performance. Smarter engineering.

Japanese-based watchmaker Hirotaka Sugiyama R&D initiative demonstrated CFRP for not only aesthetic watch parts, but structural and motion-sensitive components, where even tiny weight reductions can improve movement efficiency, reduce inertia, and enhance accuracy.

It’s a powerful reminder that lightweight design is no longer limited to aerospace or automotive. From watches to robotics and precision machinery, advanced composites are unlocking performance at micro scales.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Systems and Device Technology (IISB) has developed an electric aircraft motor delivering nearly 1,000 HP (750 kW)—while weighing just 94 kg.

That’s a remarkable 8 kW/kg power-to-weight ratio, pushing electric aviation closer to reality.

This is what smart engineering looks like: optimizing the tools that build the product, not just the product itself.

A powerful reminder that some of the biggest innovation opportunities are hidden in places most people never look.

At TGM Lightweight Solutions GmbH, this strongly resonates with our philosophy of holistic lightweight construction—optimizing not just components, but entire systems for maximum performance and efficiency.

What if one overlooked engineering discipline is quietly shaping the success of entire industries… yet barely gets the spotlight it deserves?

From aerospace to automotive and beyond, weight management and mass properties engineering are no longer just “technical details.” They’re becoming critical drivers of efficiency, performance, and sustainability.
