Designed to open up the market for structural composites, improve productivity and market lead of the UK, the project will design and build a prototype composite moulding machine. On successful completion of the project, we will demonstate the new technology with a processed composite part which will compete with the quality and strength of a traditional compression moulding but at a fraction of the price.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
