Presenters from world-class companies will talk about many topics from boatbuilding and wind turbine blade manufacturing, to adaptive mold systems, from core materials to fire retardant systems.

Infusion Training: 

The program will include the latest in infusion to enable a quick start for newcomers and advanced techniques for those with experience.

• Practical demonstrations and training in infusion
• See the latest in resin infusion technology – invaluable for newcomers and experienced molders
• Theoretical training combined with practical demonstrations
• Process techniques and troubleshooting
• Case studies illustrating industrial applications

RTM Training: 

The program will include the latest in RTM technology to enable a quick start for newcomers and advanced techniques for those with experience.

• Pattern design and construction (using the pre-prepared practical example)
• Building the ‘A’ surface mould
• Thickness-waxing and flange design
• Use the completed ‘A’ surface moulds to demonstrate the thickness-waxing stages.
• Building the second ‘B’ surface mould
• Use the fully waxed moulds to show the PVA, gelcoat and start the laminating stages
• Finishing the mould (opening, cleaning, polishing, release agent application)
• Use the finished mould(s) to demonstrate the commissioning of a new mould
• Mould design (injection strategies etc)
• Materials for RTM (fibres, cores, resin, release agents etc)
