Resilient manufacturing of composites (RECO)

Important results from the project

The focus of RECO is how to increase geometric quality in manufacturing of composite parts. We have developed algorithms and simulation tools for simulating the curing process, including draping. This contributes to a reduced need for physical testing and a more efficient product development process. A process for geometry assurance of composite manufacturing has been developed that maps different types of sources of variation and how these can be handled. Four scientific articles are written.

Expected long term effects

Increased knowledge in variation management of composite manufacturing contributes to reduced costs for physical test series, shortened time for product realization and increased competitiveness.

Approach and implementation

The schedule was adjusted slightly and the project was extended due to parental leave (Chalmers PhD student). Overall, the collaboration in the project worked very well and all parties have been active, cooperative and contributed in a positive way. See also the attached report.
