In recent years there has been growing attention in optimizing industrial processes and reducing related energy consumption. In the case of manufacturing parts in thermosetting polymer composite material, current autoclave forming processes have enormous energy consumption. In fact, in the case of an autoclave, the energy is largely absorbed by its structure and dissipated into the environment. For example, a cure cycle for a panel smaller than 1 m2 at a temperature of 120°C for 1.5 hours would lead to an energy consumption of approximately 21 kWh, of which as much as 54% would be lost through conduction in the frame of the panel. autoclave, approximately 40% would be dispersed to the external environment, approximately 5% would be transferred to the air circulating in the autoclave and less than 2% would be used to care for the laminate. The objective of the LEM project is the development of an innovative forming process, with reduced energy consumption, for the realization of the polymerization cycle using press technology. The development of press production technologies presents direct advantages, linked to the reduction of the energy consumption of the process as an alternative to the current autoclave polymerization technology, but also indirect ones, thanks to the development of functional know-how for the creation of thermoplastic composites . In this way it will be possible to lay the technical/scientific foundations for the development of more flexible technologies capable of producing types with high production rates for the aeronautical/aerospace sector but also for sectors with a higher production rate such as land transport.
