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.
The Met supports a German-Polish project for NOx reduction of marine diesel engines with CFD simulation.
On behalf of the company DynaPro, MET has analyzed a framework for a new portal CNC – machining centre. In close cooperation with the customer, the carbon fibre sandwich structure has been optimized for rigidity and manufacturing cost. As a result, there is a lightweight design that allows for efficient mass production while meeting the…
