REGISTER TODAY FOR WEBINAR AT: Reg Link: http://short.compositesworld.com/Norplex313 DATE AND TIME: March 13, 2018 • 2:00 PM EST PRESENTERS PRESENTED BY DUSTIN DAVIS Director of Technology and Business Development NORPLEX-MICARTA norplex-micarta.com Utilization of Continuous Fiber Pre-preg in Compression Molding EVENT DESCRIPTION: An introduction to continuous fiber reinforced pre-preg material and how these strong, stiff, lightweight, and corrosion resistant materials can produce affordable parts using a compression molding process. Furthermore, a co-molding approach will be explored whereby detailed features such as bosses, ribs and the part periphery are molded with discontinuous fibers, minimizing secondary trimming, increasing geometric complexity and, thus, further opening the design and process window for thermoset composites. PRIMARY TOPICS: • How composites are designed and built • Differences between continuous fiber and discontinuous fiber reinforced materials • How continuous fiber pre-preg can be predictable, scalable and affordable • Considerations of how these materials can be engineered for application requirements JEFF OKEKE Applications Engineer NORPLEX-MICARTA
