The Mechanical Engineering program at Saxion University of Applied Sciences has a plastics module in which students learn about the various processing techniques for plastics. This used to be a purely theoretical matter, but the practical at TPAC should change this. The most commonly used plastic processing technique is injection moulding. Lecturer [...]
Research at TPAC shows processing possibilities for scrap wood ENSCHEDE - In October 2019 research center Saxion TPAC together with recycling company Rouwmaat and Innodeen, an innovator of plastic- and plastic composite products, started the project B–hout Behoud (B-wood Preservation). Based on the thought that recycled wood should not be incinerated but re-used, [...]
Corona rules forced mechanics-lecturer Cees Besteman and his colleagues to make laminates out of glass-fiber composite for their minor-students. Cees Besteman mechatronics lecturer at the academy LED. With his colleagues Jos ter Laak and Peter Wichers Schreur, he takes care of the minor AMPE. The Advanced Materials and Production Engineering (AMPE) [...]
Enschede - The student team iFall from Delft University of Technology won the competition for additive manufacturing that was organized by SAMPE Benelux. Student teams from the Benelux were invited by the organization SAMPE Benelux to participate in a competition in the field of additive manufacturing. Six teams from TU Delft (NL) and [...]
Fourth-year mechatronics students Rene Groeneveld and Rutger Venekatte from the ROC Hengelo are doing an internship at Saxion's TPAC in Enschede. “Our internship is not actually about plastics or composites. We are more involved as a technical service for the installations at TPAC”, says Venekatte. A range of machines and test [...]

TPC Cycle Summary Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (TPC) are gaining interest in aerospace and more recently also sporting goods, automotive and industrial sectors. The growing demand results in increasing post industrial waste. During the production process up to 1/3 of the material is waste resulting in circa 1000 ton of high-end TPC [...]
Fieldlab CIM - Owens Corning The goal is finding reuse for residual flows of the Glass Fiber fleece production lines at Owens Corning. TPAC is involved for vibration and damping knowledge and calculations. Save Plastics joins for processing the recycled flow into a new product. Summary Owens Corning produces a.o. glass fiber products [...]
The ThermoPlastic composites Application Center (TPAC) is always looking for enthusiastic and motivated students interested in a internship or graduation assignment in the field of composite materials. Are you a MBO, HBO or WO student with a background in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Chemistry or another technical education, and are you looking for an internship [...]
rTPC Demonstrators Research into the use of recycled Thermoplastic composite materials in practice Summary In the RAAK PRO project 'TPC-Cycle - Sustainable Reuse of Thermoplastic Composite materials', two PhD students investigated processes to recycle thermoplastic composites. In particular, post-production materials from the high-end industry (aerospace) proved to be reprocessable into new product forms, [...]
