MAPAL: CFRP DEMO PART FOR TRADE FAIRS AND EVENTS

The National Manufacturing Institute Scotland and MAPAL bundle their skills and develop a generic component together, which is putting MAPAL’s tool expertise in the area of CFRP machining to the test.

MAPAL: CFRP DEMO PART FOR TRADE FAIRS AND EVENTS

After a first discussion, the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) CFRP experts designed a 3D model of the demo part, which illustrated the requested machining processes and tools to be demonstrated. One of MAPAL UK’s partners provided the material. MAPAL provided the tools and optimal machining parameters. After the blueprint was ready, the fibre-reinforced composite part was machined at NMIS’s Lightweight Manufacturing Centre.

“Especially for trade fairs and conventions, we needed a fictional part to clearly illustrate the principal tools and processes related to CFRP machining”, says Mark Radcliffe, Business Development Manager at MAPAL UK. “For projects like this, we like to make use of our good cooperation and partnership with universities and institutions.”

According to Radcliffe, the result is convincing: “The demo part was originally destined for use in the UK. But the market segment management in Aalen will now use it globally at events.”
