The new Engineering and Design facility (NEDF) being constructed on the western edge of themain Plymouth campus will provide a new home for the specialist laboratories and teaching facilities of theSchool of Engineering, Computing and Mathematicsand theSchool of Art, Design and Architecture. Our intentions are to move the Aeroform Autoclave to the new Composites Engineering Laboratory in NEDF. This provides an opportunity to refurbish the autoclave to the revised parameters, modernise its primary services, and update its control system. We would also like to explore the feasibility to extend its capability to support some innovative composites manufacturing techniques.
