Intelligent Mold for Productivity Enhancement (Mold4ProdE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

The constant demand for diversified/personalised consumers' goods leads to decrease time-to-market, and to plastic injection molds with smaller batch production, with no stock acceptable for cost and quality reasons. This generates huge productivity losses in the molding industry: - Tool Tuning is too long for tool makers before delivery of a turn key mold. - New production run set-up time is too ...

Development of Thermoplastic Polymer blend with Low Melting Point and with Similar Properties than PEEK (SUPERBLEND)

Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

"Since thermoplastic matrices can be replacing thermoset matrices in aircraft structural applications, the next step is to get eco-friendly thermoplastic materials able to be manufactured with less energy than PEEK.It is therefore necessary to develop an innovative compound with similar mechanical and physic-chemical properties than PEEK but with lower melting point in order to reduce the energy f ...

Business Models for User Centred Products (MADE4U)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

Recent research results by one of the partners have shown that human beings display unique behaviour (visual strategy), in the way they look at objects. Thus it has been (2006) possible to create spectacles with Progressive Addition lenses which were personalized to a subject’s visual strategy, finding that they dimensionally improved overall user experience, practically eliminating the spectacle- ...
