Our new laboratory space (290 square meter) is almost finished.
This will allow TPAC to move its labscale- and test-equipment to the new lab space, reserving the current lab space for industrial equipment, allowing for trials closer to industrial reality. The new laboratory space will be operational in September.

Furthermore, a Kuka robot with a CEAD extruder for 3D printing of large continuous fiber reinforced composite structures (range of 4,8 meter in diameter), a hot-cold press for compression moulding and, in addition, a new Suke extruder will be installed in September.
This offers a unique R&D environment for TPCs to TPACs partners and students!
