General objectives
- To demonstrate that the composite manufacturing of three dimensional shapes and structures can be performed through optimized amount of material;
- To show a drastic reduction of the volume wasted nowadays in the working process (from current average of 40% to near to zero) with the adoption of the High Volume Tailored Fiber Placement (HV-TFP) method. Wastes are mainly related to the trimming in dry ply and pre-pregs, extra material cuts and grinding edge cleaning;
- To cut energy consumption and CO2 emissions by 15%;
- To realize demonstrators (one automotive and one aerospace part) with two different processes: Resin Transfer Moulding and Autoclave.
- To assess the global sustainability (economical-industrial, environmental and societal) of the process.
