Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector

The third consortium meeting of the RECOTRANS Project, coordinated by AIMPLAS, was held on the 4^th October.

The third consortium meeting of the RECOTRANS Project, coordinated by AIMPLAS, was held on the 4th October, in coincidence with its 12 months of life. The meeting, hosted by CTAG, took place in Vigo, where the 13 project partners from 7 different countries could present their progress of the project during the last 12 months, work on technical details and define next steps to be taken.

Additionally, the monitor expert PhD Jiri Muller attended the meeting. We could share with him the progress of the project as well as any improvement for a greater success.

Once the technical requirements were defined in the first 6 months, in the second semester of the project, some trials at the pilot plant level at AIMPLAS facilities have been carried out in order to validate and optimize both the developed materials and the manufacturing process of one of the three finals demonstrator, the train sector.

In the upcoming months, the RTM trials will be carried out at pilot plant level at ICT facilities while the demo and tooling design will be finalised. Finally, the scale-up of the manufacturing process with microwave system and laser joining into the two processes proposed within the project: RTM and Pultrusion, will start in month 25.
