In parallel to developing new recycling solutions, the r-LightBioCom project is also rethinking how high-performance composites are manufactured, with a strong focus on energy efficiency, ...

Hoffman, who invented the SET process, received his bachelor's degree in physics from Moravian College (Bethlehem, PA), and his master's degree in mechanical engineering from Rensselaer. Kuppers, who ...

Autoclave curing has long been the "gold standard" for aerospace composite parts. Very few processes can match the consistent part quality and high fiber volume of prepreg laminates cured in an ...

How do autoclaves sterilize materials? Firstly, air is removed from the autoclave chamber in order to create a very low-pressure environment. Moist heat, in the form of steam, in this case, is far ...

Composite components could become more cost-effective and quicker to manufacture following an R&D project underway in Scotland. The initiative – which involves Spirit AeroSystems working in ...

Removing the autoclave will not, by itself, make composite airframes suitable for single-aisle production. Airbus and Boeing are evaluating lower-infrastructure curing methods, but the harder ...

The LAC benchtop oven features horizontal recirculating airflow and exceptional temperature uniformity. The result is proven reliability in demanding production and laboratory applications, such as ...

Manufacturing a range of high value components, from wind turbine blades to car panels, could become significantly more cost-effective and quicker thanks to a ground-breaking R&D project underway in ...

A pair of students from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have taken first place at the annual Student Manufacturing Design Competition held by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
