The QEE-TECH® Cell (QTC) is used for rapid production of complex shaped continuous fiber composite reinforcements (3D preforms, QEE-FORMS®) for use in hybrid-molded thermoplastic composites. This is ...

At one time, 3D woven preforms were considered experimental and exotic. In the early 1990s, a novel process of manufacturing thick, integral three-dimensional (3D) orthogonal woven fabrics was ...

In composite structures, the reduction in material properties due to delamination between plies has long been a major concern. Key properties such as compression strength-after-impact are particularly ...

New lightweighting solutions for the automotive industry today must meet a plethora of demands. They must provide opportunities not only for weight savings but also cost savings in the finished part.

The University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) has collaborated with Archer Technicoat Limited (ATL), TISICS Metal Composites and Cygnet Texkimp to deliver a project on ...
