S6 project: Thermoplastic composite production scale up
Started with a decision matrix and discussion with the stakeholders, students decided the Voma Press is the biggest bottleneck for CATO and set the target to increase its capacity by adding more heating plates. After the concept was defined, CAD modelling and calculations completed, students ordered the alumnium, send it to drilling and finishes the concept in house. Final phase is testing and bug fixing.
