Welsh slate, and Natural slate, is a highly desirable and premium product in domestic housing markets across the world. Installed well, by a skilled craftsman it is a beautiful addition to almost any house. However, resource and skills shortages across the globe have led to challenges in its ongoing use in the house building and renovation markets. Carapace is a new and innovative roofing solution that utilises waste slate material from local sources to produce a modular, composite roofing tile that can be installed in a fraction of the time of a tradition slate tile. Our innovation uses a unique interlocking system that allows the user to simply clip the tiles together to form a safe and secure slate roof installation. Our system will reduce the time taken to install a slate tile roof by up to 90%; we have demonstrated that installation of 1sqm of Carapace is possible in just 1 minute. This project will develop a SMaRT and future proof manufacturing process to produce the Carapace roofing system on a commercial scale, enabling our innovative product to become publically available on a large scale for the first time.

威尔士板岩和天然板岩是全球国内住房市场上非常受欢迎的优质产品。由熟练的工匠安装得很好，它几乎可以为任何房屋增添美丽。然而，全球范围内的资源和技能短缺导致其在房屋建筑和装修市场的持续使用面临挑战。 Carapace 是一种新型创新屋顶解决方案，利用当地的废石板材料生产模块化复合屋顶瓦，其安装时间仅为传统石板瓦的一小部分。我们的创新采用独特的联锁系统，使用户只需将瓷砖夹在一起即可形成安全可靠的石板屋顶安装。我们的系统将安装石板瓦屋顶所需的时间减少多达 90%；我们已经证明，只需 1 分钟即可安装 1 平方米的 Carapac。该项目将开发 SMaRT 和面向未来的制造工艺，以商业规模生产 Carapace 屋顶系统，使我们的创新产品首次大规模公开发售。
