The adaptive mould system enables:
Curved composite panels made by means of hand lamination, vacuum infusion or pre-pregging. We can offer monolithic, stiffened or sandwich panels. Details can be incorporated by placing silicon profiles on the mould.
Curved panels for tooling which, compared to pasta-moulds, are:
Thermoforming of foam cores, resulting in less resin uptake compared to Grid-Scored-Core panels
Thermoforming of thermoplastic curved plates (PC, PMMA, PP, PP-composites and many more) which, compared to traditional vacuum forming, are:
Composite panel assembly, which is for small series a more lead-time- and cost-effective production process compared to the traditional plug → laminated mould → vacuum-infusion process.
Panel assembly of the tooling, which is for small series a more lead-time- and cost-effective production process compared to the traditional plug → laminated mould assembly processes.
Possibility for repair or replacement of damaged parts.
For components such as hatches, Curve Works offers vacuumed infused fibre reinforced composite panels produced directly on the mould. Panels can even be produced co-infused with details such as stiffener reinforcements.[/fusion_text][fusion_text]If you would like to know more about curved sandwich panels, forming of foam cores or other possibilities Curve Works offers the boat-buiding industry, please contact us.[/fusion_text]
