Composite Materials Prototyping

RI-049
Materials
Lab
CIRA
Description

The mission of Composite Materials Prototyping Lab is to contribute to increase the competitiveness of products and manufacturing processes of the aerospace industry through R&D activities focused on the design and manufacturing of innovative structural systems in composite materials.
The R&D activities aim at constituting a national excellence center on design and production engineering of composite structure, particularly in the scale-up from concept phase up to the prototype level, through processes, techniques, methodologies and advanced tools for the integrated and automated manufacturing.
