Blade finishing includes trimming excess material after molding and grinding blade surface to meet quality requirements. The programme’s vision is to leverage knowledge of advanced composite processing together with sensing, robotics and automation to develop low-cost solutions for wind blade finishing with potential to increase throughput by 30 percent and improve EHS in factories.
