Abstract
Today, many small aerodromes have a hard time surviving economically, and amongst the largest cost is air traffic control. Airlines are cutting costs where they can, and many times this affects the aerodromes as well, e.g. when airlines decide to park remotely instead of at the gate. [...]Abstract
The deployment of composites for lightweight solutions in the automotive market is still emerging due to the production cost of these components and the limited production capacity of current manufacturing technologies.

Abstract
The objective of this work is the control of a Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) mold trying to obtain a temperature in the whole cavity as much homogeneous as possible. This is a complex process, mainly because of two factors: temperature distribution in a complex geometry and variability [...]
Abstract
In the present work the feasability of 3D printintg, more specifically the FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology, to manufacture moulds of RTM in the phase of prototyping has been demonstrated. The upper part of the mould for a side-intrusion bar of a front door of a car has [...]
Abstract
Landing gear doors / traps are usually composed of sandwich structures manufactured by hand lay up and cured in autoclave. In the present development, this type of construction and its associated manufacturing process have been replaced by a monolithic design manufactured by liquid [...]
