The project aims to develop new production’s methods and new knowledge, new services and products in the composite molds field. The research phase will be concluded with a demonstration phase. 

The first major objective is to develop innovative processes for producing composite parts dedicated to the aerospace market with the following targets : 

  • Reduction of the production cycle and costs (-20%). 
  • Optimization of production tasks in order to require only highly skilled labor (automated preforming). 

A second objective is to develop knowledge and technologies in Wallonia in order to have the following capabilities: 

  • Offer new services for manufacturing set-up  (engineering); 
  • Design and build of large molds; 
  • To set-up a production line for small composite parts (for SMEs).
