Eurecat approaches the development of high-risk projects with the spirit of raising the TRL
Eurecat develops aerospace projects of different complexities, in both collaborative environments and under contract, with the aim of achieving TRLs between 4 and 6.
Those projects can range from the conceptual design phase to the critical design and the subsequent manufacture of prototypes for test benches on the ground or in flight, with technologies for metallic and composite materials (titanium or aluminium alloys and nickel superalloys, as well as thermostable and thermoplastic composite materials). During the manufacturing phase, projects include the improvement of production processes with innovative solutions for process integration. Eurecat also carries out projects for tools and equipment used in manufacture (moulds, preforms, etc.), as well as small tools used in assembly.
Airbus, Safran , Thales, Liebherr and the Fraunhofer Institute are already familiar with the services offered by Eurecat.
