The EU-funded PENELOPE project is reshaping how we approach large-part manufacturing by integrating product-centric data management with production planning in a closed-loop digital pipeline. This means real-time feedback between design, manufacturing, and verification — all to ensure accurate, customizable production from the very first draft.
As composite materials become standard in aerospace, smarter, faster inspection methods are not just helpful — they’re essential. The PENELOPE project is helping to lay the groundwork for this future, bringing advanced inspection technologies into real-world aerospace applications.
