The aim of the KAIROS project is to research into cutting-edge technologies in composite manufacturing, Industry 4.0 and Digital Twinning aimed at developing a solution for the efficient manufacture of large composite parts for the naval sector, with a high degree of automation, as well as quality and cost optimisation.

GAIKER’s research in this project focuses on different lines that cover the definition of the design of composite material parts, the control and automation of the manufacture of composite by infusion and the pre-forming of dry fibre reinforcements by means of vacuum and temperature compaction, and the development and characterisation of functional prototypes.
