The Gwalenn Du project aims to develop an innovative automated process for manufacturing fishing rods and spars for the boating industry from 100% recyclable materials.
These products are currently manufactured from thermosetting materials that are not very diverse and cannot be recycled. The project aims to limit the environmental impact to meet user expectations, while improving and optimising performance.
The research will lead to the development of a technique for the automated design and implementation of thermoplastic composites by filament winding.
The development of such a process should also enable production to be relocated, while improving product quality.
