The modern drive towards out of autoclave processing and the advantages of low void, high quality composites is increasing interest in vacuum infusion. Many manufacturers are moving to closed molding and vacuum infusion processes to create better working conditions, retain employees and build higher quality engineered products. The CCT-VIP program positions companies and individuals to take advantage of a rapidly growing technology that is a major part of the composites industries future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"244\" height=\"283\" src=\"https:\/\/acmanet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-36.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7277\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-accent-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/my.acmanet.org\/programenrollment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ENROLL TODAY<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/acma.mycrowdwisdom.com\/diweb\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ACCESS EDUCATION HUB<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-3 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/acmanet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/VacuumInfusionBOK.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VIEW BODY OF KNOWLEDGE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>VIP is drawing interest because of its low capital investment, easily manageable learning curve, and potential emissions reductions.
