Once you make the leap to resin-based 3D printing, you’ll quickly find that putting parts out in the sun to cure isn’t always a viable solution. The best way to get consistent results is with a ...

GKN Aerospace has purchased an industrial standard microwave oven to further research in microwave curing of composite structures. GKN has researched the use of microwaves in composite structure ...

The FAMACOM project will be a technological leap forward for manufacturing sandwich-structured composite parts by automating production and reducing energy consumption. Additionally, the microwave ...

A prototype microwave-powered autoclave that could reduce composite curing times by up to 60% is to produce its first carbonfibre aircraft parts by September. While conventional autoclaves use ...

With the market growing for carbon-fibre reinforced plastics, production processes need to be improved to reduce cycle times and to improve the quality assurance process, especially where aerospace ...
