VAP\u00ae<\/sup> 3D ready-mades for large aerospace structures<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

VAP\u00ae<\/sup> 3D ready-mades developed and produced by Trans-Textil together with the\u00a0Center for Lightweight Production at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR-ZLP)<\/a>\u00a0in Augsburg have again enabled the two partners to demonstrate the potential of prefabricated material kits adapted to component form. As part of the “Optimized vacuum bagging for CFRP rocket booster cases” project, DLR and Trans-Textil recently implemented the concept of instant-use multifunctional textile auxiliary packs in the case of a full-scale final-stage booster demonstrator measuring 3.4 metres in diameter and 6 metres in length for the Ariane 6 launcher.<\/p>\n

Special joining techniques made it possible to successfully adapt the central process component \u2013 digitally computed pattern pieces of the\u00a0patented\u00a0<\/span>VAP\u00ae<\/sup> membrane system \u2013 to the complex component geometry with its cylindrical and curved sections while ensuring high accuracy of fit in the process. Thanks also to integrated resin feeds for out-of-autoclave infusion and an application-oriented packaging design, DLR and Trans-Textil have thus achieved the ideal prerequities for reproducible, simiplified and thus time-optimised deployment of fabrication incorporating VAP\u00ae<\/sup> 3D ready-mades.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Ready-mades for use in membrane-assisted vacuum infusion<\/h1>\n

Specially devised to facilitate the vacuum infusion process in intricate components, VAP\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a03D ready-mades reliably remove air and gas residues from the matrix around where they are deployed. Thanks also to their semi-permeable characteristics, they support use of VAP\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0membrane systems over entire component surfaces in exacting fabrication and repair assignments.<\/p>\n

Produced with the help of advanced lamination system and coating technologies, the functional multi-layer textile products can be tailored by\u00a0exclusive manufacturer\u00a0<\/span>Trans-Textil to individual requirements in terms of:<\/p>\n
