NLR has finished the first phase of the Dutch NXTGEN Hightech programmes related to innovative composite production technology (hardware and software) for high-quality applications in aviation and mobility, in February 2025. The overall goal is to contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions, waste reduction, and efficiency in production processes through automation and digitisation, and help improve the affordability and flexibility of composite production and drastically shorten the time-to-market for new product series.
????Digital micro-factory for lightweight e-mobility
This project focuses on developing a digital production platform for the flexible production and recycling of lightweight thermoplastic composites, aimed at e-mobility and automotive applications.
