Variable profile blade geometry: Saint GobainRecent Research Landscape

Manual coating application suffers from inconsistent thickness and material waste due to rigid tool profiles. Engineering the flexibility and support base of the tool surface ensures uniform material distribution across varying substrates.

What technical problems is Saint Gobain addressing in Variable profile blade geometry?

Inconsistent coating thickness

(2)evidences

Non-uniform material distribution during application leads to structural weaknesses and surface defects. Achieving precise thickness control ensures material integrity and reduces waste.

Inadequate surface contact ergonomics

(1)evidences

Non-uniform pressure distributions and boundary layer instability lead to lift loss and drag. Mitigating these flow disruptions increases lift-to-drag ratios and fuel efficiency.
