Low cost flexible integrated composite process (LOWFLIP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Fibre-reinforced polymer composite materials are leading candidates as component materials to improve the efficiency and sustainability of many transport modes. The advantages of high performance composites are numerous: they include lighter weight, the ability to tailor lay-ups for optimum strength and stiffness, improved fatigue life, corrosion resistance and, with good design practice, reduced ...

Industrialisation of self heated composite tooling based on Tailored Fibre Placement Technology (GREEN-TOOLING)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
"Composite materials are starting to be used extensively in many industrial applications. This is the case for example of the transport (automotive, rail and aeronautic), marine, wind energy and construction industries. New developments such as textile preforming combined with liquid moulding technologies together with recent automation developments will support this tendency.Although it seems tha ...

Advanced Preformmanufacturing for industrial LCM-Processes (APRIL)
Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"Liquid Composite Moulding (LCM) techniques are becoming more and more interesting for aircraft manufacturers due to their advantages against traditional prepreg-autoclave processes (reduction of waste, energy and waste toxicity and economic benefits).The two steps that are involved in the LCM process are first the production of a dry fibre preform and secondly the resin injection. The focus of th ...

Development of energy efficient / lightweight composite parts and tooling based on Tailored Fibre Placement technology / self heating technology (EMBROIDERY)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
"Composite materials are being used extensively in many industrial applications with higher production needs than the yielded by current technologies. New developments such as textile preforming combined with liquid moulding technologies will support this tendency. Nevertheless, there are still some drawbacks. More repeatable and automated processes are required and tools must be developed to assi ...
