CW Tech Days: Thermoplastic Composite Solutions for Aerospace Structures

Thermoplastic composites are at the forefront of aerostructures manufacturing thanks to surging demands from the commercial aerospace and defense sectors for innovative materials, advanced processes and rapid-production solutions.

Across both smaller secondary components and larger primary structures, thermoplastic composites are seen as transformative for rapidly evolving markets next-generation aerospace and defense and advanced air mobility (AAM) which require high-rate, high-volume materials and processes that break free from autoclaves and thermoset resins, embracing improved efficiency, scalability, multifunctionality and recyclability.

In this CW Tech Days event, industry experts will explore cutting-edge materials and processing technologies driving the shift to high-rate thermoplastic composite parts production and provide insights into topics such as:

• The rise of oversized presses

• In-situ thermoplastic automated fiber placement (AFP)

• Injection overmolding, specialized tooling for massive parts

• Advanced welding for assembly

• Robust process controls

• Case studies from groundbreaking aerospace, defense and AAM projects

Join us to explore how these innovations are powering future airframes, engines and more.
