JULY 11, 2022: BOARDING THE NAUTILUS, 10 YEARS AFTER THE BIRTH OF IRT JULES VERNE
So much emotion! July 11, 2022 marked the arrival of our employees in the NAUTILUS, our new workplace in the heart of the manufacturing campus in the southwest of Nantes Metropole. A 7,000m2 building – including 4,000m2 of technological space – dedicated to industrial innovation. Focus on the entrance of the employees in […]
Completion of the European project imPURE
The European project imPURE initiated in 2020 with the IRT Jules Verne and 19 other industrial and academic partners from 8 European countries ended a few days ago. The project partners took stock of the results obtained during these 18 months of development. Context and objectives The imPure project was launched in the context […]
JULES VERNE INSTITUTE IS INVOLVED IN A NEW EUROPEAN PROJECT: CAELESTIS!
CAELESTIS is a new project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe programme focused on the aeronautics industry and aiming to digitise the entire design and manufacturing process of aeronautical parts. The kick-off meeting of this project took place on 9 and 10 May 2022 in O Porriño, Spain, with the presence […]
AFAL project completion
The feasibility study, AFAL, initiated in 2021 with DAHER, ended a few days ago. In the current context, automatic draping technologies are poorly adapted to small parts and require the intervention of specialised operators. While their skills are essential for complex parts, it is interesting to think about automation for simpler parts. In this […]
LAUNCH OF THE HYBRITECH PROJECT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE AERONAUTICAL SECTOR, PARTICULARLY WITH REGARD TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THEIR PROCESSES
The IRT Jules Verne and its partners, AIRBUS and LOIRETECH, have just launched the HYBRITECH project for a duration of 36 months and a budget of 2.8M€. Composite materials for aeronautical applications and their implementation are now widely mastered. However, the context of increasing aeronautical production rates requires a review of aspects of the […]
DISCOVER THE MOVIE ON ZEBRA PROJECT
The ZEBRA (Zero wastE Blade ReseArch) project today marks an important step in the industry’s transition to a circular economy with the completion of a 62m prototype blade made from Elium® resin, a thermoplastic resin known for its recyclable properties, and new high performance fibreglass materials. Discover now the dedicated film : To […]
A VERSATILE LAB COBOT FOR NDT
Inspection operations are generally considered bottlenecks in the ever-increasing flow of composite parts manufacturing. Manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to reduce the cost of testing, in particular by focusing on how to automate these operations. Progress made in the areas of robotisation and digital technologies has participated, to a great extent, in offering them […]
ZEBRA project achieves key milestone with production of the first prototype of its recyclable wind turbine blade
The ZEBRA (Zero wastE Blade ReseArch) consortium is today marking a new step forward on the industry’s transition to a circular economy with the production of the first prototype of its 100% recyclable wind turbine blade. The 62m blade was made using Arkema’s Elium® resin, which is a thermoplastic resin well known for its recyclable […]
Launch of the 3DCALOR project for the additive manufacturing of heat exchangers
The IRT Jules Verne and its partners, Fives (Manufacturing of heat exchangers), AddUp (Additive Metal Manufacturing and 3D Printing) and the CNRS/LTEN (Laboratory of Thermics and Energy of Nantes) have launched the 3DCALOR project for a duration of 12 months. In the current context of increasing the performance of heat exchangers, the consortium will […]
