Manufacturing processes in composites

Manufacturing processes in composites involve combining materials like fibers (e.g., carbon or glass) with a resin or matrix to create strong, lightweight structures. The fibers are arranged in specific patterns, then infused with the resin, which hardens and binds everything together. Common methods include lay-up, where layers are stacked and cured, and molding, where the mixture is shaped in molds under heat and pressure. These processes enable the production of durable parts for aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment, offering high performance while reducing weight.
