The emerging urban air mobility (UAM) market promises, in the next 10 years, to put substantial pressure on the composites manufacturing industry. This webinar will explore why the availability of data, processing flexibility, and product forms are critical to composite material selection. Solvay will discuss how the technical attributes of MTM® 45-1 make it suitable for prototyping, certification, and higher-rate production. This will include information on the industry's largest publicly-available dataset (NCAMP) and the use of MTM® 45-1 in low-cost, high-volume manufacturing for monolithic and sandwich structures. Learn how materials, technologies, and processes must evolve to meet the demands of UAM vehicle manufacturing.

Agenda:

• Learn more about the MTM® 45-1 publicly-available dataset (NCAMP)
• Why manufacturing options and process flexibility are important
• How MTM® 45-1 delivers weight and TCO improvements over traditional aero systems
• Introduction of Solvay's next developments
