There is something energising about gathering the whole consortium in one place, and the M30 General Assembly held on 19–20 May 2026 in Enschede, The Netherlands, was no exception. Hosted by partner AELS at the People@places Enschede Technology Base, the meeting brought together the full COMPASS consortium for two intensive and productive days, marking a […]
The third factsheet from COMPASS is dedicated to Composite Part Remanufacturing, presenting an end-to-end workflow that transforms defective composite parts into valuable, reusable resources. The process starts with part design, feeding into a lay-up process that generates CAD data for manufacturing. Once manufactured, parts undergo a QA inspection, producing a structured report that feeds both […]
The second factsheet from COMPASS is dedicated to Sheet Metal Remanufacturing, showcasing how digital technologies and circular manufacturing strategies can extend the value of metal components throughout their lifecycle. The factsheet presents the COMPASS approach for managing different types of feedstock—including blanking scrap, stamping scrap, end-of-life components, and aircraft dismantling materials—through an integrated digital ecosystem […]
COMPASS has published a new factsheet dedicated to End-of-Life (EOL) Parts Dismantling and MRO, outlining the digital and physical workflow that transforms decommissioned components — from aerospace and automotive applications — into valuable, traceable feedstock. The process begins with the digitalization of components, supported by a dedicated 3D Digitalization tool and a digital tool guiding […]
The COMPASS Framework supporting Horizon Europe objectives Research Infrastructures (RIs) are recognised under Horizon Europe as strategic assets for strengthening the European Research Area (ERA), fostering scientific excellence, and accelerating innovation uptake across Member States. Within this context, COMPASS has actively contributed to initiatives that promote structured collaboration and innovation. Notably, COMPASS participated in the […]
There is something special about working and exchanging ideas in person, the energy, the focus, and the shared sense of purpose always offer an extra boost. This November, the COMPASS consortium gathered in Zaragoza (Spain) for its periodic General Assembly, marking an important moment to reflect on progress and align strategies for the months ahead. […]
The manufacturing industry is evolving, and at the heart of this transformation is circularity powered by digital innovation. COMPASS is proud to be one of the seven Horizon Europe projects of the TTRAC cluster, an initiative designed to accelerate Europe’s twin transition towards green and digital industries. What is TTRAC?TTRAC, short for Twin-Transition Cluster, brings […]
Advancing Digital Product Passports in Automotive and Aerospace On 21 October, the COMPASS team had the pleasure of participating in the Manufacturing Partnership Days in Brussels, a key event organised by EFFRA to connect stakeholders from across Europe’s manufacturing and research ecosystem. This annual event brings together industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers to discuss innovation, […]
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 […]
