Globe’s Advanced Composites Equipment team, in collaboration with the University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI) is pleased to announce the establishment of the UDRI-Globe Composites Technology Center (CTC) to be located in Dayton, Ohio. This is the culmination of 18 months of discussions between Globe and senior members of the UDRI leadership team resulting in a collaboration agreement signed in August-2018.

Globe will install and update a RapidClave® system at the CTC to support materials/process development and applications development/demonstration projects for US DoD, commercial aerospace, automotive and other markets that lead to machine revenue generation opportunities. Globe’s manufacturing engineering expertise combined with UDRI’s proven capabilities in polymer development, carbon fiber preforming and low-cost 3D printed tooling capabilities offer a unique opportunity to further establish Globe Machine Manufacturing Company as a system-level supplier of the next generation of composites processing technologies.

In addition, Globe and UDRI are in discussions to add a larger, second RapidClave® system to the technology center in late 2019. The establishment of the CTC offers a setting for Globe to showcase the RapidClave® system and its proprietary low-cost tooling technology in an “open environment” where any customer from any market can develop and demonstrate their specific applications with engineering and strategic support from Globe and UDRI.
