Designers of composite parts can choose from a huge variety of fiber reinforcements and resin systems. Knowledge of material properties is a prerequisite to satisfactory product design, but cost is a ...

Over the last 4 years, large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM) has matured from a curious technological approach to a robust and reliable form of manufacturing. LFAM consists of 3D printing parts ...

The journey towards circular high-performance composites begins with one core question: why redesign an already mature class of materials? To set the scene, we asked the consortium to describe the ...

Composite beams have become an integral element in modern structural engineering, combining dissimilar materials to exploit their complementary mechanical properties. This field of study encompasses ...

Fueled by emerging markets and a growing demand for lightweight-yet-durable materials, the composites industry is a rising economic force. Global demand for composite-based products is growing at an ...

Thermoplastic composites manufacturing and smart preforming enables “one-minute” manufacturing of composite parts. In addition, thermoplastic composites are easier to recycle than their thermoset ...

When it comes to designing the moving structural elements of high-performance machine tools—such as beams, shafts and spindles, and the assemblies used to hold cutting tools—the need for the machine ...

AZoM talks to DeWayne Howell and Jason Gabriel (Technical Engineering TenCate/CCS Composites), about the process of compression molding for composites and what the benefits and applications of this ...

This pattern represents part-whole hierarchies of objects such that the consumers or the clients can treat the objects and also the compositions of objects in a uniform manner Design patterns are ...

D’Ieteren has been granted a patent for a piece that combines a metal part with an organic matrix composite part. The design includes specific connecting portions and fastening elements to securely ...
