Most composite parts and components require some type of post fabrication and or joining for finishing. This program examines the various methods used to cut, saw, rout, and drill composites effectively. The use of adhesives and mechanical fasteners to join separate composite components is also explored in detail.
This Composite Materials & Manufacturing program features segments on: composite matrix and reinforcement materials, composite manufacturing processes, and composite fabrication and joining methods.
A review of the Composite Materials & Manufacturing program content.
This Composite Materials program features a detailed explanation of the important mechanical properties of thermoset fiber-reinforced composites.
Quality tooling is a fundamental requirement for the manufacture of composite parts. This is due to the fact that every step in the composite part manufacturing process must be tightly controlled to ensure superior material properties and predictable performance in the final product.This program explores the composite materials used for tooling and tooling design.
The use of compression molding in high volume, high quality composite parts production is featured prominently in this Compression Molding program. The various sheet, thick and bulk molding compounds are detailed as well as mold types used. The transfer molding process, which is a technological extension of compression molding is also highlighted.
This program is part of an eight program Composites Manufacturing series.

Quality tooling is a fundamental requirement for the manufacture of composite parts. This is due to the fact that every step in the composite part manufacturing process must be tightly controlled to ensure superior material properties and predictable performance in the final product. This Composite Tooling Design program explores the composite materials used for tooling, and tooling design.
Computer-aided design or CAD involves the use of computers and software to digitally create engineering drawings and models to aid in tooling and product design. This program, part of the Fundamentals of Tool Design Video Series, explores the tools and techniques used within four fundamental computer-aided design categories.
