ZAero present at the MAT-COMP 2017 congress
The ZAero project was represented at the MAT-COMP 2017 national congress held in San Sebastian (Spain) on June 21, 22 and 23. Our partner FIDAMC presented a poster and an article describing some of the developments that have been made within the framework of the project.
The MAT-COMP 2017 Congress focused on scientific-technological developments in composite materials with a large presence in aeronautics applications, but also in other transport sectors and industries such as automotive, rail, capital goods / machine tools, etc.
