Research at Faserinstitut Bremen’s ECOMAT site, alongside industry partners, aims to enable sustainable, aerospace-focused composites — including thermoplastic welding and cryogenic material testing.

A continuation of SPECTRA, this project’s technological building blocks will contribute to the deployment of a matured conduction welding solution to improve aerospace-grade TPC assembly.

Agile Ultrasonics and NASA trial robotic-compatible carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastic ultrasonic welding technology for space structures.

CAMX 2025: A+ Composites is featuring thin-ply UD TPC tapes engineered with the inherent benefits of thermoplastics, but with individual ply thicknesses below 50 µm and fiber volume contents up to 68%.

Integrated solution for TPC stamp forming and part assembly via induction welding opens capabilities for increased part sizes, reduced weight and production cost, optimized cycle times.

Understand the basic science of TPC stamp forming, a manufacturing process steadily gaining momentum in aerospace and mobility applications thanks to its rapid forming, short cycle times and automated methods.

Syensqo’s fiber-reinforced polymers, specialty compounds and bio-based PPA materials earn automotive impact distinction.

Continuous ultrasonic welding (CUW) innovation presents the flexibility crucial for future lunar and deep-space missions, but also for composites joining in defense and commercial aerospace.

Building the all-thermoplastic composite fuselage demonstrator comes to an end with continuous ultrasonic welding of the RH longitudinal fuselage joint and resistance welding for coupling of the fuselage frames across the upper and lower halves.  

Three hands-on programs are available, covering the intricacies of thermoplastic composites, from intro to advanced levels.
