Acrosoma nv from Belgium has successfully developed a cost effective and continuous production technology to produce tri-dimensional stitched sandwich panels that have less weight, high strength and minimal thermal expansion. On top of that, Acrosoma engineering has also performed in-depth theoretical and applied research to explore the mechanical and thermal behaviour of tri-dimensional sandwich panels.
Thanks to Finite Element Modelling, extensive testing and the implementation of Design of Experiments, the production process is continuously being refined. The tri-dimensional Acrosoma Panel is now being used successfully in Aircraft production equipment and tooling, in wind turbine rotor blades, in truck trailers and in other structural applications. These applications provide substantial data, which has been subsequently used in the further development of this exciting new technology.
A Horizontal Transport Tool made completely out of composite Acrosoma Panels, is now transporting and positioning the covers of the wing of the AIRBUS A350 in the Airbus production hall in Stade and Illescas. Acrosoma composite tools will be used more and more in the future.
Acrosoma will start up a daughter company in Stade, which will be located in the building of CTC. One of the goals is to set up a cooperation between Acrosoma and CTC for the development of structural aircraft parts. Visit acrosoma at the 5th CFK-Valley Stade Convention, 07-08 June, on booth No 22 „Joint booth CFK-Valley e.V.. The floorplan with all exhibitors as well as the Convention program is for download available:

The CFK-Valley Stade Convention focuses this year on the leading topic of “CFRP Automation – Simulation, Processes & Materials”. Particularly the topics of automated production and the cost-efficient development of CFRP structures will be the focus of the series of lectures held by representatives from renowned companies and institutes. In addition, 40 exhibitors will be presenting their products and services in the target field of CFRP. The CFK-Valley Stade Convention is considered a central meeting point and trade fair for decision-makers in the field of CFRP, with over 450 participants attending last year’s event. Last Chance to register now – extended Deadline 27 May!
