The CarE-Service project is aimed to face current and future challenges towards the transformation from traditional fuel cars to Electric (EV) and Hybrid (HEV) vehicles. The project proposal aims at demonstrating innovative business models entailing the re-use, remanufacturing and recycling of some key components of E&HEVs. The topic will be deepened in a dedicated webinar on December 9th.
The GRP market report is now available!
In 2020, the European GRP market is now experiencing the sharpest slump since the economic and financial crisis of 2008/2009 due to the corona pandemic. Production volume has fallen by 12.7% to 996,000 tonnes. The greatest losses are in the transport sector. Germany remains the largest manufacturer of GRP with 207,000 tonnes.
Concordia Centre for Composites (CONCOM) is one of the participants in the Academic Partner Program (APP) launched by AnalySwift. Its research concerns the development of thermoplastic composites landing gear for helicopters using two AnalySwift products: the VABS and SwiftComp simulation software.
Alpha rocket, produced by the house Firefly Aerospace, will be upgraded using the automatic carbon fiber spreading process. The new automated rocket manufacturing sites will create several advantages, such as reduced composite material waste, manpower, construction time, structure weight, and overall costs.
Iter di qualificazione prodotto e accettazione in cantiere: cosa bisogna sapere alla luce della nuova normativa che tra il 2020 e il 2021 fa scattare l’obbligo per tutti i Fabbricanti di essere in possesso del Certificato di Valutazione Tecnica.
The 26th edition of China Composites Expo (CCE2020) was successfully held from September 3rd-5th as planned, marking itself the first major composites event convened after the outbreak of COVID-19. With serial measures implemented to ensure public safety, CCE2020 turned out to be a huge success, attracting 18,000+ industrial professionals from 30+ countries and regions to attend.
Commissioned by IMAL, the sensor housing box was entirely created via professional 3D printing by CRP Technology and then CNC machined by CRP Meccanica combining additive and subtractive manufacturing techniques.
Le ali degli aeroplani, le pale delle turbine eoliche e altre parti di grandi dimensioni vengono in genere create utilizzando la polimerizzazione in massa (bulk polymerization), che richiede l’impiego di enormi autoclavi. La frontal polymerization è un nuovo metodo per la produzione dei compositi che al contrario non necessita di un investimento in grandi strutture. I ricercatori dell’Università dell’Illinois a Urbana-Champaign hanno condotto uno studio, mettendo i due processi a confronto per valutare i rispettivi pro e contro
Automobili Lamborghini in collaborazione con lo Houston Methodist Research Institute ha sviluppato materiali compositi in fibra di carbonio che sono saliti a bordo della Stazione Spaziale Internazionale e sono decollati per lo spazio esterno lo scorso novembre. Lamborghini ha inviato componenti sviluppati e prodotti internamente alla ISS per scopi scientifici
Nel contesto del progetto di cooperazione “Automated Repair Patch Production – ARP2”, finanziato con fondi pubblici, l’Institut für Textiltechnik (ITA) di Aquisgrana sta sviluppando in collaborazione con la Sabanci University di Istanbul una catena di processo per la produzione automatizzata di patch di riparazione per componenti FRP
