The first phase of a new manufacturing design laboratory (MDL) started to work after a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Purdue University located in West Lafayette, Indiana, USA. Founded in 1869 by a businessman (Purdue) the university is basically a research university wwhich now runs courses absolutely online for adult working people. The MDL is housed in the university’s new Composites Manufacturing and Simulation Center.
These new machines help researchers to test high-rate over-moulded composite manufacturing by continuous fiber preforms, to demonstrate part production rates of less than one minute, dramatically increase mechanical stiffness and strength and significantly reduce costs compared to a fully continuous fiber manufactured part.
