How to Boost Efficiency and Digitalize The Production of Composite Parts

On-Demand Webinar

The composites industry must produce high-quality, functional parts using complex, cascaded processes that are often difficult to predict or control, and which can obscure the interrelationships between process parameters, material behavior, and final part performance. Higher levels of process monitoring are required to avoid part rejection during quality assurance testing. An aerospace company validated the benefits of digitizing a well-established manufacturing process with sensor-based and data-driven technology.

Agenda

• Aircraft manufacturing case: digitalization of vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM), coupled with post-mold autoclave curing of fuselage support produced in carbon fibre – RTM6-1.
• Gathering data with sensXPERT in-mold sensors, creating kinetic models, forecasting process cycles, and predicting composites part conversion in real-time during manufacturing cycles.
• Benefits of digitalization and Industry 4.0 in aircraft manufacturing.
