Some Project partners (AIRBUS, ARKEMA, CANOE, CTAG) are also members of the Carbon Fibres & Advanced High Performance Composites Cluster (CFPC). http://www.technologycluster.eu/ This cluster aims to bring together EC funded projects to enable the sharing of ideas, results and concepts, contributing to the EU Strategic Research Roadmaps and to use the synergistic effect to improve […]
FORTAPE project was finished on 31st January after 36 months of project implementation. The achieved results concerning the UD-tapes manufacturing and also the manufacturing of automotive and aeronautical parts reinforced with UD-tapes have been successful. The feasibility (both tehcnical and economical) of the processes has been demonstrated and from now on, new adjustments and optimizations […]
