Conference on "Initiation to Composite Materials" at ICM
Last April 27th, we had the pleasure to open our doors and welcome those who wanted to know Iberia Compositech Manufacturing and the world of composite materials.
During this very special event, attendees had the opportunity to immerse themselves...
Exel to provide weight-saving composite profiles for Chinese electric buses
Under the agreement, the glass fiber profiles will be manufactured locally in China. This will reduce both the maintenance requirements and the weight of the vehicles, due to the composites’ corrosion resistant and lightweight properties....
Hexcel and Arkema complete first aeronautical structure made of thermoplastic composites
This achievement stems from the strategic partnership between Hexcel and Arkema. The high-performance thermoplastic composite structure was designed and manufactured using HexPly thermoplastic tapes. These aerospace-grade materials are developed...
Will There Be a Desktop Manufacturing Revolution outside of 3D Printing?
The desktop 3D printing revolution was an exciting time; additive manufacturing (AM) enthusiasts were the most interesting people at any party. Whether it was a technically inclined uncle, a classmate determined to change the world, or a former...
Solideon and LEAP 71 Partner to Advance Space 3D Printing with WAAM Machine
The space industry has dramatically changed its game, becoming a leader in technological innovation. 3D printing has played a key role in transforming how some space hardware components are made. For decades, the sector relied on traditional...
Stanford Researchers 3D Print Elusive Shapeshifting Structures
Nano 3D printing is a field that continues to make steady progress, but whose applications are still being discovered. One of the most exciting areas where additive manufacturing (AM) at the nanoscale is in the creation of meta materials. At...
THE IMPACT OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS ON DRONE PERFORMANCE
Composite materials have revolutionised the drone industry by offering a unique combination of features that significantly improve drone performance.
First, the durability of a drone is directly affected by the materials used in its construction....
HRC has obtained GRS 4.0 certification for carbon-neutral products
Two recycled carbon fibre material products and two recycled carbon fibre finished products independently developed and produced by HRC, China’s leading comprehensive composite solutions provider, have obtained the Global Recycled Standard 4.0...
IMDEA Materials demonstrates breakthrough recyclability of carbon nanotube sheets
Researchers have demonstrated for the first time that high-performance carbon nanotube sheets and textiles can be recycled at the macroscopic scale with nearly 100% retention of mechanical and electrical properties.
Researchers from IMDEA Materials...
On this episode, Florence Moreau of TeXtreme joins me to discuss their new TeXtreme 360°. It belongs to a new class of composite materials called tape-based Discontinuous Fiber Composites (DFCs), combining in-plane isotropy, high strength and...
