Advanced Lightweight Preform Automation 2

一个由一家汽车OEM牵头的财团，其合作伙伴包括一家复合材料专家和一家高价值制造弹射中心，旨在开发将显著降低在汽车应用中使用先进复合材料的成本的技术。通过减少材料损耗和自动化预成型制造，这些技术将对树脂转移模塑复合材料组件的成本产生重大影响。它们不仅有利于汽车行业，还将有利于风能、体育用品和航空航天等其他工业部门。

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.
