5 Ways to Produce Complex Geometries for Composites, Powered by Massivit 3D

September 27, 2023 | Webinar
Sponsored
While demand for carbon fiber manufacturing increases, tooling processes remain slow, expensive, and wasteful – requiring extensive manual, skilled labor. Find out how to overcome this bottleneck with an additive manufacturing system that reduces FRP tooling time by up to 80%, thereby decreasing labor-associated costs in a similar proportion.

In this webinar, attendees will learn how complex, custom carbon fiber parts can be ready for production literally in a matter of hours using AM in combination with water-breakable thermosets while completely eliminating the labor-intensive, time-consuming, and costly process of creating a traditional mold.

For carbon fiber applications requiring hundreds or thousands of the same part, learn how this same AM process can be modified using patented Cast In Motion (CIM) technology to automate isotropic mold production, reducing the time to a matter of days instead of weeks.

The Footprint, Handprint, and Processing Increases of Hybrid Graphene Materials, Powered by MITO Material Solutions

October 11, 2023 | Webinar
Sponsored
To date, graphene materials are used as either a mechanical or thermal additive. MITO Materials was able to achieve both enhancements at one loading level by treating graphene as an ingredient, not the final product, to create the first third party Verified Functionalize Graphene: E-GO. A combination of graphene oxide and epoxide POSS, E-GO provides drastic increases to mechanical and thermal properties at extremely low loadings. While the footprint of graphene materials is larger than expected, the offset, or the handprint, is much greater due its ability to enable less material usage and decreased curing times and temperatures.
