The research project ENLIGHTEN (Enabling Integrated Lightweight [...]
TPAC is celebrating it's 10th anniversary When? On 7th of December 2023, 14-18 a.m. Over the past period, we have been working hard on expanding our laboratory, resulting in a significant increase in lab facilities and the installation of multiple industry-sized machines. This development allows TPAC to better serve its role as an R&D [...]
In the project "CTCP - Circular Thermoplastic Composite Production", 6 SMEs and 2 Universities of Applied Sciences carried out R&D on the circularity of thermoplastic composites. The project, financed by Regieorgaan SIA, part of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) through a RAAK-MKB subsidy, was successfully completed earlier this year. The following [...]
Circular insulation panels for construction Summary Isobouw is a producer of insulating sandwiches for the construction industry and wants to improve the circularity of its products. TPAC has extensive experience in composite processing, and one of its research themes is recycling. Because of this expertise, Isobouw approached TPAC, asking to investigate possible recycling [...]

In recent weeks, the expansion of TPAC's laboratory has been in full swing. We've relocated machinery from our original laboratory to create space for new, industry-sized equipment that is already eagerly waiting to be employed! The lab's floor has been reinforced to accommodate a delivery: of a KUKA robotic arm with an [...]
Automated manufacturing systems are generally used to increase the production rate, enable manufacturing processes, improve product quality and still reduce manufacturing costs. Robotic tape placement allows for a high volume production of net-shape, tailored fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite structures at consistent quality. OBJECTIVE Development of (high volume) manufacturing processes using [...]
