High Performance Thermoplastic Structural Overmoulding for the Aerospace Industry

该项目集合了中小企业、大公司和学术界的不同优势和能力，以开发一种实用的方法，通过一种新的复模工艺来设计和制造气动结构复合材料部件。开发的多组分系统将以热塑性复合材料为基础，提供优化的集成结构，并具有短周期生产时间的经济效益。最终目标是为航空航天制造商提供值得信赖的金属或热固性复合材料部件的商业替代品，作为该行业整体优化的多材料战略的一部分。

This project brings together the diverse strengths and capabilities of an SME, Large Company and Academia to develop a practical means of designing and manufacturing aerostructural composite components via a novel overmoulding process. The multi-component systems developed will be thermoplastic-composite based providing optimised integrated structures with the economic benefits of short cycle production times. The ultimate aim is to provide aerospace manufacturers with creditable commercial alternatives to metallic or thermoset composite parts as part of an overall optimised multi-material strategy for the industry.
