General desciption of Engineering tools:

Engineering is the creative application of science, mathematical methods, and empirical evidence to the innovation, design, construction, operation and maintenance of structures, machines, materials, devices, systems, processes, and organizations. (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering)

  • Results:

    Thanks to cloud resources, enough power computing is available to analyze different scenarios in a few days instead of several weeks.
    Designers of CATMARINE and SKA are now able to achieve high-quality products by analyzing different manufacturing scenarios without wasting time, money and material.

    The platform is able to optimize the resin injections points/vents and verify the presence of defects in the final product, thus ensuring a complete and correct mold-filling.

    Outcomes of the project creates base for the improvement of the existing design of the water quench and will be used for the development of the new generation of the nozzles.

    It is expected that new nozzle design and thus new water quench will be available for the customers in 5 years time. It is expected that those new products will attract new clients: 5 new contracts in 1 year increasing to 10 new contracts in 5 years, which will increase the turnover of Ferram by 500k Euros in 1 year and 3,5 million Euros in 5 years after the experiment end.
