MC4
MC4 demonstrates how production waste and end-of-life composite materials can be recycled and reused in new applications, such as an aircraft rib made from 100 per cent recycled material.
WIRreFa
As part of the WIR! funding programme, composite components and reinforcing bars made from recycled carbon fibres were developed at the STFI.
Nonwoven pipe
Are tubular and hose structures made from circular-needled nonwovens a seamless alternative to flat-needled ones? At STFI, the relationships between materials and processes were investigated.
HIOS
This manufacturing process integrates component development directly into the production of organic sheets. The method enhances the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of organic sheet production.
AVK Award 2025
Third place went to FIBRE and STFI for the development of highly integrated organic sheets based on hybrid rCF non-woven fabrics and the associated thermoforming process.
