Segmentation Supervised Multi-Head Defect Classification of Virgin and Recycled Carbon Fiber Material in Photometric Stereo Images A newly developed segmentation-supervised multi-head neural network is setting new benchmarks in defect classification for virgin and recycled carbon fiber materials. With the increasing adoption of neural networks in digital image-based inspection, researchers face challenges due to carbon fiber’s […]
Aitiip established a stand at the JEC WORLD fair in Paris, where they presented various projects, including COMPASS, to interested visitors. Aitiip’s participation in JEC World 2025 offered this past March, a valuable opportunity to strengthen connections with international stakeholders and explore new avenues for collaboration in the composites sector. As the world’s leading event […]
Johannes Österreicher presents COMPASS research on Circular Manufacturing at IDDRG 2025. On June 2, 2025, COMPASS project researcher Johannes Österreicher, by AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, LKR Light Metals Technologies, presented a talk at the International Deep Drawing Research Group (IDDRG) 2025 Conference in Lisbon, Portugal. His presentation took place during the Parallel Session on […]
The COMPASS Horizon EU project was highlighted by AELS during the AFRA Conference 2025 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in a dedicated workshop on cabin recycling. During one of the workshops about cabin recycling, AELS introduced the current state of aircraft recycling, noting that most materials today are processed by shredding and melting aluminum. The presentation […]
Continuing our journey through the key terms of COMPASS, we dive deeper into the concepts that drive the project’s mission. Each of these keywords represents a crucial piece of the puzzle in transforming industries, enhancing sustainability, and embracing circular economy principles. Let’s explore how these terms are shaping the future of remanufacturing and driving innovation […]

from MATEC Web Conf. Recycling aluminium typically involves energy-intensive melting processes. This study presents a more sustainable approach by directly remanufacturing deep-drawn parts from end-of-life aluminium automotive components. We used aluminium engine hoods as a source material, beginning with assessment of alloy composition and tensile properties. Dismantling operations and the removal of coating and adhesive […]
from COMPOSITE 2025 Using neural networks for photometric stereo based surface inspection is fast emerging, especially for carbon fiber matrix (before binding with resins) / fabric. However, the non-rigid nature and high reflectivity of the carbon fiber material makes them very difficult to perfrom robust digital image based quality inspection. To overcome this issue:1) a […]
Starting from the core concepts of the COMPASS project, we’ve tried to break it down into key terms that capture its essence and objectives. These keywords reflect the innovative approach the project takes in transforming the aerospace and automotive industries, promoting a circular economy, and using advanced digital technologies. Here’s a closer look at the […]
