The ultimate aim is to produce a high quality composite part from a range of prepreg composite materials within a thirty minute cycle time without using an autoclave or expensive tooling. FlexiComp proposes to provide a significant reduction in processing cost and capital cost to enable carbon fibre (and other prepregs) to be cost effectively commercialised in numerous low volume (and potentially high volume) applications.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
