Globe Machine Manufacturing Company (Tacoma, WA), and the University of Dayton Research Institute (Dayton, OH) have partnered to establish the “UDRI-Globe Composites Technology Center (CTC)”.

 

Located on the university campus in Dayton, the partnership is leveraging  mutual interests involving the IACMI network and the breadth and depth of UDRI’s capabilities in a variety of composites technologies, combined with the capabilities of Globe's composites processing systems and manufacturing engineering services, to support applications development projects across multiple markets.

 

Globe has provided and  installed one of its innovative RapidClave® units at the CTC.  The aerospace community and other markets are free to utilize the capabilities of this system as it is located in a “neutral" environment. This RapidClave® system is already seeing project booking activity for material/process development, low cost tooling development and application development/demonstrations with several customers.

 

The establishment of the CTC offers a setting for Globe to showcase the RapidClave® system and its proprietary low-cost tooling technology in an open environment where any customer from any market can develop and demonstrate their specific applications with engineering and strategic support from Globe and UDRI.   For more information:
