Important results from the project
The aim of the project is to conduct research on rapid and cost effective manufacturing of high performance composite components. The need for new technology in this field is increasing, driven by the ambition to decrease the environmental impact from the transport sector through lightweight design. In this project the aeronautical and automotive industry will work together with researchers to raise the technology readiness levels for vital composite manufacturing processes.
