Enhance your skills in creating high-quality composite parts, mastering bonding techniques, and making modifications and repairs. The course concentrates mainly on epoxies and their use in aircraft projects. Extensive hands-on training and practice is the mainstay of this class.
Instruction begins with a detailed classroom presentation on all aspects of composite materials and the tools required. The hands-on portion of the course starts with the construction of a composite sandwich panel to illustrate molded and moldless construction. Then, a canard airfoil shape is fabricated using hot wire techniques and moldless composite sandwich construction methods. We'll continue by fabricating a joint using standard laminate bonding techniques.
Other topic areas discussed and demonstrated include free-form molding and the creation of a simple model and molded part using commonly available materials; inspection, repairs, and hard points; finishing techniques of composite surfaces; and practice in wet layup and vacuum bagging techniques, both with and without molds.
This course is very in-depth in its scope, resulting in a high degree of confidence in the composite area by the end of the two days. The class includes all materials, a concise and informative workbook, and a completion certificate to proudly display.
