The National Composites Centre (NCC) is planning on placing an order in March 2017, for an Injection Over-moulding cell to enable the production of a finished component in a one step process. The target commissioning date for the capability is Q3 2018, with a demonstration batch of components to be manufactured during Q2 2018 at supplier site.
The capability will need to be specified, procured and commissioned to ensure suitability for industrial research and development programs as well as supporting maturation of emerging manufacturing technologies from academia toward industrial application.
