As aerospace manufacturers find more and more applications for honeycomb-type composite materials, they inevitably wrestle with which thermal processing method is best. We’ll talk more about each a little later on, but generally speaking, you can make honeycomb composite blocks in one of two ways. Co-curing aerospace composites involves the simultaneous stabilization, resin impregnation and […]

Industry and government each place much responsibility on the shoulders of aerospace composite manufacturers. And rightly so: Some of these components are safety-critical. The well-being of anyone in flight depends on these parts performing as designed. As such, the parts’ manufacturing processes must also meet rigorous benchmarks. And when equipment and processes are validated, the […]

To improve foam manufacturing throughput, more speed is not the answer. In fact, going faster could cause more problems than it solves. Here’s how to approach it instead.

The automotive industry has always forged ahead rapidly. But now, with a push for electrification of the greater economy and enthusiasm growing for self-driving vehicles, the industry is innovating in even more directions than ever. Since lightweighting has shifted from shiny new trend to mature manufacturing strategy, automotive acoustics manufacturers today juggle two competing concerns: […]
