Research on efficient integrated systems for the manufacturing of complex parts based on unidirectional tapes for the automotive and aeronautical industries
FORTAPE project
#Composite manufacturing #UD tapes #Energy and material efficiency #Carbon #Glass fibre #Overmoulding
The FORTAPE concept is based on the development of new processes to produce unidirectional carbon and glass fibre tapes and the optimization of the automotive and aeronautical complex parts made there-of in order to improve the materials and energy efficiency while eliminating the appearance of defective parts.
Les résultats
The FORTAPE project has led to the development of a semi-industrial manufacturing cell and the production of prototype parts, including a local reinforcement of a car door panel.
