Innovative Tooling Design and Manufacturing for Thermoplastic Stringers and High Integration

Deadline: Jun 2, 2016  
CALL EXPIRED

Topic Description

Specific Challenge:

The CFP is oriented to deliver methods and innovative moulds for thermoplastic technologies applied to aerospace parts with PEEK-carbon fiber. Activities will be focused in continuous manufacture of shaped profiles (“omega” and “T” stringers) of 4meters allowing accommodate thickness changes for joggles and ply drop-offs in the skins. The subsequent activity will be design and manufacturing of moulds for the integration of both components by in-situ consolidation. Creative solutions incorporating flexibility and new materials facilitating heat transfer, vacuum application and lamination by automated fibre placement are required. For the full topic description see the Call Text Document (Annex of Workplan) published with this call.
