- [ Realizing the mass production lay-up process for the prepreg sheet ]
Point of the Proposed Technology
1. Thanks to accurate lay-up quality by the auto lay-up machine, finished parts quality can be improved and stabilized compare with hand-lay-up process.
2. Manpower saving and higher productivity can be achieved by adopting full-automated processing system.
3. As a research equipment, quantitative testing which was not available with hand lay-up method can be achieved.

Technology Deployment and Cooperation
| Development Stage |
Commercialization Completed (already delivered: yes) |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intellectual Property Right | Yes | ||||
| Joint Researchers (their role) | |||||
| Example of Application | ・CF prepreg process of aircraft structural parts and automobile structure materials as well as exterior sheet parts.
・Slit processing for new materials such as highly-functional film | ||||
| Technical Problems | Depending on the lay-up pattern, material waste may be generated, but it can be minimized by an optimization of the tape width. Forfurther material waste saving, we have been addressing machine development.
