Success stories
Púlsar
Eurecat has developed an intelligent plastic surface only 3 millimeters thick, featuring an interface that allows users to interact with a machine, software, or an intuitive system. It includes built-in LED lighting and capacitive sensors. This technology is expected to be integrated into the central electronic system of the next generation of automobiles.
CFIP
La tecnología CFIP (Continuous Fiber Injection Process) es un nuevo post-proceso, desarrollado y patentado por Eurecat, que se basa en inyectar fibras continuas simultáneamente con resina líquida dentro de cavidades tubulares de la pieza. Una vez curada la pieza y solidificada la resina, esta actúa como interfaz mecánica entre las fibras y el resto de la pieza.
Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF)
The ISF (Incremental Sheet Forming) machine offers a new technological service that ranges from the production of prototypes and small series to the complete transfer of technology to companies. This service includes a custom-made machine designed to meet new manufacturing needs. Unlike conventional processes, the main advantage of Eurecat’s ISF is that it does not require investment in expensive tools, such as dies.
