Intelligent Mold for Productivity Enhancement (Mold4ProdE)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 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 ...

New manufacturing infrastructure for the production of high quality Natural Fibres (UltraFibre)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2012,
Natural fibres offer a route to the production of sustainable composites, replacing inorganic and petrochemical based fibres with high-embodied energy. One of the main obstacles to the exploitation of natural fibres is the limited consistency of supply, with batch-to-batch variations in quality. Retting – a process whereby plant stems are left to weather in the fields – has been identified as bein ...
