Project description

  Making right choices is the key to the breakthrough of lightweight components with optimum design in which the partial structures each made from the most suitable material. Within the transport, engineering, construction and consumer products, there is a growing demand for lightweight components composietrnateriaal. This responds to the social and technological trends in energy efficiency, performance, formability, functionality and cost efficiency over the longer term. The target group includes I 00 designers and product manufacturers and 200 processors composietrnaterialen. Designers and OEMs have a clear need for assistance in the selection and test some of the economic and technical feasibility of such solutions. The composites of processors are more than ever forced to understand the process robustness and the influence of process parameters and to introduce a continuous monitoring of the quality throughout the production.
