The FastMelt 650 is a completely self-contained thermoplastic melting system for efficient thermoplastic striping. Pictured is the FastMelt as a double FastMelt 650. FastMelt 650 is a self-contained ...

New molding process combines three techniques to create large thick-walled parts from high-performance thermoplastic ...

Pultrusion is one of the technologies used to produce fibre-reinforced plastic composites. This continuous manufacturing method produces fixed cross-sections for both solid and hollow components.

Steps are currently being taken to move towards large primary structures, e.g. integrally-stiffened skin panels. New materials, innovative design concepts and aeronautics are key innovation factors.
