Product:
During the Project, Fresmak has developped 5 demonstrators for different sectors and type of parts, adapting the initial concept to the market needs through real applications. The machining tests succesfully performed could demonstrate the versatility of the product and the robustness of the solution.
Aluminum, Titanium, TiAl but also ceramics and technical foams could be clamped, offering a new solution to the partner companies by reducing the number of clamping set-ups to obtain the final parts. Through these cases, Fresmak has developped the final solution of its product: a combination of standard and custom-made features that make the solution adaptative to a wide range of applications.
In terms of adhesive, Fremak has widden its portfolio, developping 2 alternative adhesives to the initial one and improving key characteristics : activation temperature and reversibility. This amplified family of adhesive enables to propose a finished product, fully adapted to customer requirements and part characteristics.
Manufacturing:
During the project, Fresmak has built its own adhesive fabrication cell in order to develop the processes for a scale-up of its future production. Thanks to the work performed, the key parameters have been defined and quantified; and the necessary means have been identified. Through this analysis, Fresmak is ready to increase its production capacity according to the market demand.
Promotion:
Fresmak has used the off-line and on-line communication means to promote F-GRIP and inform about its evolution.
Through its participation to fairs (as exhibitor or visitor), conferences and various events, Fresmak could actively showcase its innovative product but also identify new customers and potential markets, collect market trends and needs and draw the attention of the scientific community. The press also showed a great interest in F-GRIP as several articles have been published in specialized magazines that could reach an international public. On the other hand, as a result of the activities performed during the project, various media such as leaflets and videos has been prepared and are available to support the commercial speech, showing real examples, benefits and performance of the product.
On the F-GRIP web, potential customers could follow the project through the news that were frequently published. The web page remains a key contact entrance for interested entities that are looking for more information and will be carefully updated in the future months. Last but not least, Fresmak is proactive in the dessimination of the information through social network such as LinkedIn where F-GRIP has been promoted regularly.
