Optimization of the autoclave process of CFRP components for Eurocopter

On behalf of Eurocopter Germany GmbH, MET GmbH has lead successful simulations for optimizing autoclave processes since 2009. Here, the production of CFRP components were calculated (with and without sandwich structures) in a “virtual autoclave”. The results achieved in the project have now been presented at the conference in 2012 in Hamburg EUCOMAS.
