FORTAPE
The strategic objective of FORTAPE is to research and develop an efficient and optimized integrated system for the manufacturing of complex parts based on unidirectional fibre tapes for its application in the automotive and aeronautical industry, with the minimum use of material and energy. Expected impacts of the project:
– Manufacturing process control and monitoring strategies based on integrated models of both processes and machines, with modules for resource and energy efficiency planning and monitoring, and with capability of selection of the best process and machine for the part to be manufactured
– Innovative process concepts and tools, including design supported by computational modelling, for resource efficiency in complex geometries manufacturing.
– Innovative machinery improving resource efficiency from the current state of the art in complex geometries manufacturing.
