The COMPASS Horizon EU project was featured at SAMPE Europe 2025, held in Amsterdam on 7 October, where about 250 participants attended the conference focused on advanced materials and their processing. During the conference, which carried the theme “The Future of Advanced & Sustainable Composites,” COMPASS was presented in a session dedicated to artificial intelligence […]
Toward a Circular Economy in Deep Drawing: Remanufacturing End-of-Life Automotive Parts | from MATEC Web Conf.
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 […]
Segmentation Aware Attention Mechanism for Defect Classification of both Virgin and Recycled Carbon Fiber Fabric | from COMPOSITE 2025
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 […]
