Composite materials are essential in the aerospace industry. To shape them, autoclaves, high-pressure and high-temperature chambers are traditionally used. But to optimise energy consumption and ...

Composite airframes were important in defense systems before the Boeing 787 made them a household word. The basics of building even 80-ft.-long single-piece composite wingboxes have been conquered.

For over 30 years, Sinergo has developed special electromagnetic induction machines. In the last 10 years, the focus has been on the technique of heating composite materials by means of ...

Non-autoclave manufacturing process proven viable for making large, reusable fuel tanks The viability of a reusable launch vehicle got a major technological boost recently when Northrop Grumman ...

Every step of the composites manufacturing process requires energy. Energy to produce the fiber, energy to design and energy to manufacture the final part. There is also a fair amount of energy ...
