11th Symposium of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Institute: "Processing Technologies and Application Cases of Carbon Fiber Composites"

Event Details

[Order of the day]
?Opening Remarks (1:20 p.m. -)
Trustee (In charge of Research, Social Co-creation and Graduate School Support) / Vice President Shinichi Nakamura

?Lecture (1:30 p.m. - 2:20 p.m.)
Associate Professor Daichi Tatsuno, Advanced Manufacturing Technology Institute
- Title: "Efforts Toward the Development of Forming and Processing Technologies for Thermoplastic CFRP"

 - Abstract: Thermoplastic CFRP can be deformed through heating, which softens the material, and then solidified by cooling—this is a key characteristic in forming and processing. This presentation introduces efforts to develop forming and processing technologies based on methods such as press molding and forging that utilize this property.

?Lecture (2:30 p.m. - 3:20 p.m.)
Professor Toshiyasu Kinari, Advanced Manufacturing Technology Institute
 - Title: "Forming Technologies and Applications of Braided-Structure CFRTP"

 - Abstract: Compared to thermosetting resins, thermoplastic resins used in CFRTP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastics) offer shorter molding times and easier secondary processing and recycling. However, due to their high viscosity and low fluidity, it has been difficult to uniformly impregnate resin throughout the entire test specimen. To address this issue, this presentation introduces a forming technique that involves braiding a structure using slit UD tapes as intermediate materials, followed by press molding, along with its applications.

?Lectures (3:30p.m. - 4:20 p.m.)
Keiichi Nishikawa, Representative Director, i System Research Co.,Ltd
 - Title: "Latest Trends in Drones for Long-Duration Flights and Heavy Payload Transport: How Materials and Manufacturing Methods Are Transforming Drone Performance"

 - Abstract: In recent years, drones have played an active role in agriculture and infrastructure inspection, and their use for transport is rapidly expanding. The development of lightweight and high-strength structures is key to technological advancement, leading to the emergence of new drone models capable of long-duration flights and heavy payload transport. This presentation introduces the latest trends and expectations for materials and manufacturing technologies.

?Closing Remarks (4:20 p.m. -)
Professor Naoki Asakawa, Director of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Institute

*There will be a 10-minute interval between each lecture.
