From 25 – 26 of September, FlexCrash partners gathered in Koper, Slovenia, to share the status of the project, which aims to develop the new generation of crash tolerant structures.
The meeting was held by HIDRIA, a new partner that has recently joint FlexCrash consortium, and included a visit to its facilities. The General Assembly provided an opportunity to share updates on the project’s progress, discuss testing techniques, and outline the next steps.
FlexCrash project, launched in September 2022, is developing a flexible and hybrid manufacturing technology to produce tailored adaptive crash-tolerant structures made of green aluminium alloys. The project selects vehicle parts and applies surface patterns onto performed parts with the objective to reduce weight, increase safety and optimise crash performance of current and future vehicles.
