Composites are revolutionary and shown at JEC Forums 2015 in Boston USA
The 4th session of JEC Forums gathered major Industry leaders around 2 days of high-level conferences discussing Efficiency in Design & Production for Aeronautics & Automotive
As JEC Group President & CEO Mrs Frédérique Mutel says: “Composites are revolutionary materials that move the 21st Century industry. The Boston JEC Forums presented the needs of this Century and how our materials are designed and manufactured to bring lightness and flexibility”.
The first day focused on Design, Optimisation and Simulation. Speakers from TPI Composites, Stanford University, Chomarat, GSEa Design and CETIM discussed “Design optimization: the end of the black metal approach” while speakers from Dassault Systemes, CompoSIDE and GE-Global Research Center presented papers on “Simulation: combining speed and accuracy”.
On the second day, speakers from Altair Engineering, MIT, LUNA lnnovation, e-Xstream and Purdue University raised the question and answers of “How can production ramp-up goals be met in the aeronautics industry?” Finally, experts from CETIM, TU Munich, SGL Group, IACMI, Lamborghini, Dieffenbacher North America and Coriolis Composites addressed the issues of “Cost-competitive solutions for mass production in the automotive industry”.
JEC Forums 2015 was also the stage of the 2nd Simulation Composites Circle where top composites leaders in the Simulation sector gathered to exchange and share on this topics. This exclusive networking circle is designed to cover the entire spectrum of the composites supply chain, including OEM’s, Tier 1 Engineers and Manufacturers, Designers, Equipment Suppliers and Raw Materials Producers. This international networking club attempts to bring together the key strategic decision makers, top managers and executives around the state-of-the-art of virtual design, simulation and analyses of composites materials and structures. This year participants included Lamborghini, Dixie Chemical, Altair, Oracle Team USA, Siemens PLM Software, E-xstream, IACMI, Dassault Systèmes, Chomarat NA, Ashland, Autodesk, BASF, with keynote speeches from JAG Composites and GE-Global Research Centre.
