Welding
As part of the Ybridio and Innova projects, ÉireComposites has performed research on welding of composites which offers the capacity for reduced cost and increased automation. ÉireComposites is manufacturing a 1.5m diameter cylinder using ATP for the ESA as part of the Future Launchers Preparatory Programme.
ATP
ÉireComposites has developed specialised heated tooling to allow the use of ATP for thermoplastic composites. ATP of thermoplastics involves the automated deposition of thermoplastic composite tape onto a tool surface while consolidating the tape in-situ via the application of heat and pressure.
