The design freedom offered by composites opens up new possibilities for engineers and designers, while also broadening the range of applications for the material. At the same time, advances in manufacturing technology are paving the way for digital, highly reliable and increasingly intelligent production systems. The real impact of these developments comes from innovation across the entire supply chain.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"478\" data-end=\"855\">New materials require new processing technologies. The rise of natural fibres and bio-based resins is accelerating the transition towards a more sustainable composites industry and is driving demand for new generations of machinery and production methods. Companies and research institutes in the Netherlands are working closely together to develop and scale these innovations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"857\" data-end=\"1074\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"><span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">CompositesNL<\/span><\/span> brings together knowledge and industry.
