Improved curing of large sandwich composites

AIMPLAS plans to contribute by focusing on material selection and improvement of the microwave curing process.Spanish plastics technology organization AIMPLAS is participating in a project to improve microwave curing of large sandwich-structured parts for aircraft.

The FAMACOM project aims to automate production and reduce energy consumption as well as improve the quality of parts. Currently, large sandwich-structured parts are manually manufactured and autoclave cured, AIMPLAS says. However, a patent developed by one of the project’s participating research bodies could allow for more even curing of sandwich-structured parts and overcome the difficulties arising from the thickness and non-uniform nature of these assemblies.
