Graphite, carbon fiber, Kevlar, prepregs—these are advanced
composites in wide use by today’s manufacturers. The
processes and skills needed to produce composite parts and
components are unique; training in this high-skills sector is
vital and opens up many opportunities to employees and
apprentices in the industry.
This book provides an insider’s viewpoint on the tips and
techniques used by the pros to fabricate advanced composite
parts. The culmination of more than 30 years of industry
experience, it imparts valuable insight on safety, shop and
equipment needs, engineering, materials, lay-up, fabrication
and quality control. The author captures lessons, games,
safety, tests and projects in place, explaining them in the
most pertinent context possible. Students and instructors
will beneit from his coverage of lean manufacturing, STEM,
and advanced composites, all in one book.
Composite manufacturing skills are marketable and in high
demand, especially in the aerospace, automotive, sports,
medical, marine, and construction industries. After reading
this book, not only will students understand the basic skills
required by today’s composite industry, they will also have
foundational knowledge to pursue higher education goals in
material science, composite engineering, composite research
and development.
