A few spots still remain for “Space to Sea: Composites Are Changing the Way We Make Parts,” reports Composites One (Schaumburg, Ill., U.S.). The free, two-day workshop is occurring from April 12-13, 2022, presented by Composites One and the Closed Mold Alliance, in partnership with the Institute for Advanced Composites Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI, Knoxville, Tenn., U.S.) with support from Magnum Venus Products (MVP, Knoxville). Live demonstrations and presentations are geared to a wide range of experience levels, benefitting professionals as well as students. Members of the press are invited to attend as well.
In addition to being the first live workshop being presented by the group since 2019, Composites One also expects a more inclusive audience to attend. “Both Brevard Public Schools and EFSC [Eastern Florida State College] have confirmed that they’ll be bringing up to 30 students to the workshop each day,” says Marcy Offner, director of marketing communications, Composites One. “At the event, they’ll learn more about composites as well as the Space Coast Consortium Apprenticeship Program co-sponsored by EFSC in partnership with SpaceTEC Partners Inc. [Titusville, Fla., U.S.].”
At the event, attendees can:
- Watch live demonstrations of light resin transfer molding (LTRM), composites preform and vacuum infusion.
- Learn abut reusable bag molding, thermoplastic carbon fiber braided composites, hybrid reinforcements.
- Meet with experts from Composites One, IACMI, EFSC and supplier partners.
- Network with their peers and more.
“‘Space to Sea: Composites Are Changing the Way We Make Parts,’ would not be possible without the expertise and support of EFSC and the Space Coast Consortium, along with our supplier partners,” adds Offner. Among those suppliers are Aerovac, as well as A&P Technology (Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.), Polynt (Carpentersville, Ill., U.S.), Structural Composites (Melbourne, Fla., U.S.) and Vectorply (Phenix City, Ala., U.S.).
