Technologies

ECO-CLIP combines different materials and advanced manufacturing technologies in order to develop high added-value structural aircraft parts.

• Thermoplastic composites mechanical recycling
• Melt extrusion compounding
• Injection Moulding process
• Injection Moulding process simulation by Finite Element Methodology (FEM)
• 3D printing
• Thermoplastic composite welding technologies
• Structural testing
• Application of environmental LCA and LCC methodologies

High added-value structural aircraft parts:

The project results will be demonstrated through the implementation of developed frame clips and system brackets in a thermoplastic composite fuselage (MFFD – Multifunctional Fuselage Demonstrator, included within Large Passenger Aircraft (LPA) platform 2 defined and developed by Clean Sky JU).
