The project
COMPASS aims to revolutionize the remanufacturing of sheet metal and thermoplastic composites
significantly reusing material waste for high-quality components production, and promoting a circular economy approach in the aerospace and automotive industries.
Objectives and Ambition
The target is
to make the re-use,
recycling, recovery
more efficient
The COMPASS project aims at establishing a re-manufacturing process, based on reforming and supported by digital tools, to give components a second life without converting them to raw material.
Overall concept
The Digital Product Passport
The overall concept is to develop a digital product passport that contains information about a component, enables the updating of this information along the whole life-cycle of that component, and makes the information available to enable efficient repair and high-quality end of life processes.
Three main modules are:
Outcome
The shortcut
The COMPASS project aims at taking a shortcut from end-of-life waste to a new application
through a remanufacturing process based on reforming. The COMPASS project aims also at a technology that allows such direct reuse for thermoplastic composites.
The project outcomes are:
Impact
A wider impact
addressing the digitalisation of value chains, by establishing a digital product passport that includes a 3D model of the component to enable its efficient, high-quality remanufacturing through (thermo-)forming processes. Moreover:
of private investments in technology development and implementation of remanufacturing process
increase in value of materials
of sheet metal parts and thermoplastic composite panels remanufactured
the outlook in savings CO2
