Editor’s note: CW aims to move beyond the algorithm with this new content format. The “snapshot” delivers brief, focused insights designed to quickly inform readers on key composite developments shared by industry players without sacrificing relevance or clarity.
Back in December 2025, Abaris Training Resources (Sparks, Nev., U.S.) welcomed the arrival of a newer and slightly larger autoclave at its Sparks, facility.
The process vessel occupies a 7 × 15-foot floorspace in the company’s lab. It is equipped with AvPro’s CSS 400 computer control suite and will be integrated with Abaris’ Alpha Technologies (Hudson, Ohio, U.S.) encapsulated specimen rheometer (ESR), enabling them to demonstrate (and teach) the principles of material state management (MSM) processing for the composite industry.
In addition to current classes that use an autoclave, Abaris is updating other classes such as “Adhesive Bonding” and “Mold Fabrication” to use the benefits of processing under pressure to achieve better results than vacuum bag only (VBO) processing with an oven.
The previous autoclave is available for purchase. Please contact Tom Rose at trose@abaris.com for more information.
