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 [...]

New opportunities for application rejected production material CompTape, a Dutch supplier of thermoplastic composite tape, was looking for a solution to also enter the market for compression moulded products in the composite world and, at the same time, find a sustainable destination for its rejected material. This company now supplies glass fiber reinforced [...]
The vast amount of plastic waste is a worldwide problem. However, one of the advantages of thermoplastics in comparison to thermoset materials is their recyclability. Due to industrial mixing of polymers and contaminations during use the mechanical properties of recyclates generally do not meet virgin material properties. OBJECTIVE Development of [...]

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 [...]
On Friday 14th of September, the new lab facilities of the recently founded ThermoPlastic composites Application Center (TPAC) are opened by Anka Mulder, the president of Saxion, University of Applied Sciences. The lab features new processing equipment enabling it’s focus on cost-effective processing and application of thermoplastic composites. At the same time the [...]

Automotive composite demonstrator made out of 100 percent recycled plastic ENSCHEDE - The TPAC laboratory of Saxion University of Applied Sciences recently presented the results of a three-year study, into the possibilities of using plastic recyclates in fiber-reinforced composite products. Many promising results have been achieved, one of the most important being the [...]
