Description
Can you 3D print a wind turbine blade out of thermoplastic? Cole Nielsen and Amolak Badesha from Orbital Composites believe that YES - you can, and we need to start moving that direction as an industry. In this conversation about the future of wind turbine blade manufacturing, we discuss fiber placement, 3D printing, blade recycling, how cloud, robotic and IT technology can change everything, and the need for mobile manufacturing as automation becomes more important for long-term financial viability of wind farms.
