A series of lectures will be presented by industry experts covering all aspects of the fast-growing automated processing technology that is expected to reduce cost and improve reproducibility and reliability of composite structures.


Topics:  Materials;  Automated Equipment;  Tooling;  Processing;  Inspection and NDT;  Large Space Structures; Thermal Control of Mega Autoclaves; Lessons Learned.

Keynote Speaker:  Randall Kappesser, MAG Cincinnati – Learn the most important automated machine considerations that affect processing (lay-down rates, programming, etc.) and recent advances in machine design.

Other Speakers:  Other presentations at the Seminar will be from Cytec Engineered Materials (tailoring materials for automated manufacture); MISTRAS and Laser Technology, Inc. (NDE of large scale composite parts); NASA (large composite structures); Janicki Industries (tooling); Accudyne Systems (custom composite fabrication machines) and Thermal Equipment Corporation (autoclave thermal control).
