Advanced Lightweight Preform Automation 2

由一家汽车OEM领导的联盟，与包括复合材料专家和高价值制造弹射器中心在内的合作伙伴，旨在开发技术，以显着降低在汽车应用中使用先进复合材料的成本。通过减少材料浪费和自动化预成型制造的结合，这些技术将对树脂传递模塑复合材料部件的成本产生重大影响。它们不仅对汽车行业有利，而且对风能、体育用品和航空航天等其他工业部门也有利。

A consortium, led by an automotive OEM, with partners including a composites specialist and a high value manufacturing catapult centre, aim to develop technologies that will significantly reduce the cost of utilising advanced composite materials in automotive applications. Through a combination of reduced material wastage and automated pre-form manufacture, these technologies will have a significant impact on the cost of resin transfer moulded composite components. Not only will they be of benefit to the automotive industry, but also to other industrial sectors such as wind energy, sporting goods and aerospace.
