?? Composites Breaking Boundaries ?? Let's talk about ?Tejin's Fully-Automated Preforming Process? Development of a fully automated process for supplying complex preforms designed to achieve crash performance requirements while reducing the amount of carbon fibre used. Integrated sensors and vision systems provide high accuracy. Their process starts with highly precise cutting of patches and optimized nesting which is automatically adapted if a defect is detected. The robot stacks the plies and spot-welding stabilizes the 2D preforms. Each ply is scanned to ensure accurate placement, within 0.5 mm tolerance. The stacking is then heat-activated and consolidated prior to forming. Their proprietary 3D concept manages the proper holding of the various layers during the molding phase to ensure the final accuracy of the geometry and required thicknesses. Key benefits: ? Assembly of several free-form patches in 2D that are then 3D-formed in one step. ? Very accurate positioning of each layer using high-resolution vision systems. ? Fast, fully automated process ensures repeatability and optimum quality. ? The system is digitally controlled, all plies are scanned to ensure quality. ? Our unique process is highly flexible and compatible with all types of fibres.

??Composites in Action?? Today we are talking about 'Adaptive Mould'. Adaptive Mould is a new state-of-the-art technology leverages lean manufacturing principles, to produce double-curved and single-curved panels. The reconfigurable nature of this mold allows it to create non-repetitive shapes with lower production costs and effort! The company has recently introduced its groundbreaking adaptive mold with the most actuators evermade! This mould boasts over 1,300 actuators and more than 50,000 magnets, designed to hold a membrane sized 8m x 5m. Now, shifting from a 3D file to double-curved panels up to 8m x 5m with a minimum curvature radius of 400mm is a reality! Follow us for more action-packed composite marvels!??

Case Study Spotlight! ?? "By using AM technology we've been able to produce a propulsion system that is powerful, yet small, and anything but tame. We recently conducted tests of the Bronco using the wind tunnel at Purdue University, Indiana, and saw positive results. We plan to further our use of additive manufacturing to continue developing and improving the Bronco." - Joel Darin (CTO of Velontra) Read more below! #Renishaw #Velontra #casestudy #additive #manufacturing

#cncmilling ?? That is the magic of that machine. Five-axis machines offer several advantages in manufacturing: Multi-directional machining: They can move along five different axes, allowing for more angles and directions in machining, and enabling the fabrication of complex parts. ?? Reduced processes: Completing complex parts in one machining operation reduces the need for multiple processes, saving time and costs. ?? Improved precision and surface quality: With more angles of approach, they handle complex surfaces better, enhancing precision and surface finish. ?? Increased design flexibility: Designers can create more intricate parts without being limited by traditional machining constraints, fostering innovation. ?? Cost and time savings: Despite higher initial costs, five-axis machines save time and costs by reducing the number of processes required and increasing production efficiency. ?? #cnc #cncmaching #cncmiling #prototyping #rapidprototyping #mold #moldmaker #engineer
