At TPAC, we work on 3D printing large-scale objects. When making these objects, it is important to ensure that they are strong enough and an important property here is the layer adhesion; how well the layers stick together. In this assignment, you will focus on testing this property. There are multiple ways to [...]

The TPAC research group studies new manufacturing methods using thermoplastic composite materials, often in the form of prepreg tapes (fibres pre-impregnated with a polymer). These tapes are bonded by melting their surfaces and pressing them together. The quality of consolidation (combining layers into a solid laminate) depends on factors like tape quality, polymer [...]
