Boosting the digital transformation of aviation supply chains for advanced composite aerostructures ✈️
@HorizonEU Project

[CompSTLar ✈️ @Compstlar]

At @Compstlar, we are automating UD‑tape recovery with precise laser heating, custom hardware and systematic optimization.

The goal: >90% performance retention and a closed materials loop for truly circular aviation. #CircularAviation #ThermoplasticComposites #EU

We didn’t pick the easiest component to test the future of aerospace. We picked the one that forces us to solve the hardest problems. ✈️🔧

Why did the @Compstlar team choose an engine cowl as our ultimate demonstrator?

Repairs that do more than fix — they report their own health. 🛠️✨

Laser-Induced Graphene (LIG) turns repaired composites into self-monitoring surfaces, detecting strain, cracks, and damage in real time.

🤖 What if welding systems could adjust themselves in real time?
Within the @Compstlar project, AI-assisted process control is helping optimize induction welding for faster, more reliable composite repair.
The future of smart composite repair is not only fast, it's intelligent.

♻️@Compstlar has co-founded the RECAP Cluster alongside the @ICARUSEUProject, @BIO4EEB , @wood2wood_EU, and @iBot4CRMs .

This #HorizonEurope alliance leverages #AI, #DigitalTwins, and #Robotics to rethink #circularity and advance sustainable manufacturing.

Stay tuned!

💡Can parts “feel” their health before entering service?

Our @Compstlar partner @IDEKO_ uses advanced ultrasonic #NDT as an early structural “check-up” during manufacturing, moving beyond defect detection toward real health assessment.

🔧 What if composite repairs took minutes instead of hours?

Within the @Compstlar project, partners are exploring induction welding for fast, reliable repair of thermoplastic #composites, without adhesives.

A smarter way to maintain advanced structures.

Can #composite parts "feel"? 🧠✨

In @Compstlar, @aimenct is embedding fiber optic sensors to create a nervous system for aerostructures.

From manufacturing to repair (with @msquare_GmbH), these sensors monitor strain & health 24/7. 📉

🧠 Can #AI make #DigitalTwins fast enough for real life?

By using ML surrogate models, heavy simulations become near real-time predictions, enabling faster damage detection and smarter monitoring.

That’s exactly what @Compstlar is exploring for composite #aerospace structures.
