VZLÚ optimizes the development of composites rotor blades using infusion simulation software PAM-RTM


PAM-RTM helps improve the probability of problem free infusion process of the first produced part. It is very effective for rectifying imperfections of infusion discovered during the production process.
Challenge
VZLÚ, the Czech Aeronautical Research and Test Institute, develops rotor blades for the aeronautics industry. Using ESI's PAM-RTM simulation software to perform the infusion process, VZLÚ engineers were able to optimize the mold design before its production and prevent defective molds. Thanks to PAM-RTM, the use of the autoclave technology is no longer needed, and VZLU engineers make higher quality, lighter and more reliable blades.
