First year mechanical engineering students were introduced to injection molding during their practical for ‘non-ferro materials and production’. This class is part of the newly developed mechanical engineering curriculum. Here students look at the entire process of injection molding. This included theory about designing injection molding parts, molds, simulations of the actual injection [...]
The project “(B-)hout behoud” (wood preservation) with partners Innodeen and Rouwmaat Groep has started. The project aims at manufacturing wood-fibre composite from B-wood - construction wood waste material that is currently incinerated. It studies the shredding of the materials to obtain fibres from B-wood, mix these into wood fibre composites, make profiles and evaluate their [...]
7 October was the kick-off for the FIXAR project. The main question is 'How can the aviation- and windenergy sector make composites repair economically viable by applying automated technologies?' To answer this question, TPAC, part of Saxion University of Applied Sciences, joined a consortium with Dutch aviation- and wind energy SMEs, CompositesNL, and [...]
