composites manufacturing processes

Composites manufacturing involves creating materials made from two or more different components, typically fibers and a resin. The process starts by arranging strong fibers like carbon or glass into a desired shape, then coating or impregnating them with a resin that hardens to bind the fibers together. This can be done through methods like lay-up, where layers are stacked, or molding, where resin is injected into a mold containing fibers. Once cured, the composite material offers high strength-to-weight ratio and durability, making it ideal for aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods. Manufacturing techniques are chosen based on the application's performance and production volume.
