“Composites and Digitalization… Potential benefits to the industry” is the theme of the online workshop that PIEP – Centre for Innovation in Polymer Engineering – will organize on November 19th – 10 am.
This online event, aimed at industry, academia, and research centres, will present and discuss trends in the simulation of the mechanical behavior and production process of long fiber composite materials and the theme of digitization in project activities.
It will be attended by representatives of entities such as PIEP, IST, IPL, and MPC – Design Works.
Participation is free and the registration is made online.
