How can structures and materials help minimize the weight of the end product without affecting its stability and reliability? Less weight equates to better fuel efficiency and carbon emission but reducing material and energy use alone is not enough.
An alternative to certain metal components are plastics and composites like glass fiber, carbon fiber, and Kevlar.
Composite Design based on Materials
Glass Fibre (GFRP)
Carbon Fibre (CFRP)
Natural Fibre (Hemp/Flax/Bamboo)
Aramid / Kevlar Fibre
DCPD (Reaction Injection Moulding)
Sandwich Panel Structures
Composite Design Based on Process
Hand Layup
Sheet Molding Compound (SMC)
Filament Winding
Auto Clave
High Pressure RTM (HP-RTM)
Vacuum Assist RTM (V-RTM)
