Price: $175.00 / SPE Member: $150.00

This is Part A of a two-part program on Composite Materials.
See Part A

Topics:

Resin Transfusion Filament Winding
Resig Transfer Continuous Profile
Compression Moulding (sheet) Bulk Casting
Compression Moulding (dough moulding) Centrifugal Casting
Pultrusion  

The video examines 8 methods of production – resin infusion, resin transfer moulding, compression moulding, pultrusion, filament winding, continuous profile, bulk casting and centrifugal casting.

The advantages, limitations and areas of application for each process are examined, together with typical properties of the materials used in each process.

Content would benefit 1) beginners who need to know basics of several technologies, 2) engineering students interested in the composite manufacturing processes, 3) new employees of composite processing companies, 4) practicing design engineers who are considering moving into design of composite articles, 5) high schools/vocational schools and community colleges for use in a manufacturing overview course, and, 6) marketing personnel. The video covers thermoset processing only. (This product was reviewed and approved by members of SPE’s Composites Division.)

The double CD pack of each program has been specially designed for the teaching situation and induction of staff into the workplace. One CD is a VCD of the program playable on a DVD player. The second CD consists of the script and a PowerPoint presentation of the computer graphics ideal for class notes and lecture theatre plus an Mpeg version of the program ideal for the office situation. These features are all self-installing.

Video was a collaborative effort by Monash University, Composites Institute of Australia, Inc., Cooperative Research Centre for Advanced Composite Structures, Ltd., Institute of Materials Engineering Australasia, Ltd., and the Dept. of Industry, Science & Technology, AusIndustry, Business Victoria. Produced by Double D Technical Productions.
