Biteam Participates in New EU Project CERFAC |
|
| Biteam has been invited to the new EU project CERFAC (Cost Effective Reinforcement of Fastener Areas in Composites) to contribute with its expertise in 3D-weaving process to produce 3D woven profiled reinforcements for aircraft application.
CERFAC aims to develop cheaper, lighter and stronger damage-tolerant fastened joints.
Its objectives are to introduce innovative and efficient joining Biteam will be partnering with Cenaero (Belgium), SABCA (Belgium), VZLU (Czech Republic), DLR (Germany), EADS Innovation Works (Germany), Eurocopter (Germany), IFB Stuttgart (Germany), Dassault Aviation (France), EADS (France), University of Patras (Greece), NLR (Netherlands), FNHW (Switzerland). |

JEC 2010 Award - Process Category |
|
| Biteam, together with its partners from the EU project MOJO (Modular Joints for Composite Material Aircraft), shall receive the JEC 2010 Award for the Process category during the forthcoming JEC Show in Paris. The worldʼs first industrial 3D-weaving machine for directly weaving 3D profiles was developed by Biteam in collaboration with the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm. The 3D woven profiles have shown their applicability for the aeronautical industry through the just concluded EU Project MOJO. These profiles open up a new possibility for modularly joining different aircraft parts instead of the traditional riveting. The aim of MOJO project was to seek new methods for substantially lowering construction costs and weight of aircraft. The other partners in this project included EADS - Premium Aerotec, Dassault Aviation, Eurocopter, SABCA, DLR, EADS-IWF, VZLU, CRC-ACS, Secar and University of Patras. |
