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.

威尔士板岩和自然石板是全球国内住房市场中高度可取且高级的产品。安装得很好，由熟练的工匠这是几乎所有房屋的美丽补充。但是，全球资源和技能短缺导致其在房屋建筑和翻新市场中的持续使用方面面临挑战。 Carapace是一种新的创新屋顶解决方案，它利用来自当地来源的废物板材材料生产一个模块化的复合屋顶瓷砖，可以在传统板岩瓷砖的一小部分中安装。我们的创新使用了独特的互锁系统，该系统允许用户简单地将瓷砖夹在一起以形成安全安全的板岩屋顶安装。我们的系统将减少将板岩瓷砖屋顶安装多达90％的时间；我们已经证明，仅在1分钟内可以安装1平方米的甲壳。该项目将开发出智能和未来的证明制造工艺，以商业规模生产甲壳屋顶系统，从而使我们的创新产品能够首次公开广泛使用。
