Great connections at ITHEC
Showcasing our progress on continuous ultrasonic welding, including a new techsplainer!
What a great time we had at ITHEC – International Conference and Exhibition on Thermoplastic Composites.
Associate Research Engineer Nigel van Nierop enjoyed his first time on the huge stage, presenting on: “Development of a CF/LMPAEK Stiffened Skin Demonstrator for a Slide Raft Container using Thermoforming and Robotic Continuous Ultrasonic Welding”.
Materials & Process Engineer Abhas Choudhary gave his insights on this research: “Comparative evaluation of Continuous Ultrasonic Welding, Induction Welding and Conduction Welding of CF/LMPAEK: Performance and application potential”.
In the SAM XL history book we can mark some new milestones during the ITHEC conference:
- Revealing our proprietary and patented continuous ultrasonic welding technology
- Disclosing significant research outcomes on materials studies and joining methods
- Endorsement of SAM XL’s work in Airbus’s presentation
- Evolving from a small co-partner to our own branded booth at ITHEC
- Multiple high quality thermoplastic composite demonstrators
- Identified collaboration opportunities with potential partners
Watch the techsplainer we shared at ITHEC!
See you next time? Warm greetings from our ITHEC team 2026, Nigel van Nierop, Bram Jongbloed, Johan van Stuyvesant Meyen, Abhas Choudhary, Aydin van den Bergh.
