Composite Materials
This program features a detailed explanation of the important
mechanical properties of thermoset fiber-reinforced composites. The
primary types of reinforcement materials: glass, carbon and aramid
are examined, as well as the major matrix materials: polyester, epoxy,
bismaleimide, and polyimide.
17 minutes
Manual Composite Layup & Spray Up

Manual composite layup and spray up are the most common methods
of producing composite parts. This program follows each process
thoroughly, detailing each step from mold preparation through to the
curing of finished layups and spray ups. The use of vacuum bag
molding and autoclave molding is also presented.
14 minutes
Automated Composite Layup & Spray Up

This program focuses on the various automated processes and
equipment developed to manufacture high-quality composite
products. The use of CNC gantry ply-cutters, robots, tape lamination
machines and fiber placement machines are among the automated
technologies detailed.
14 minutes
Filament Winding
The two primary types of filament winding methods are examined in
this program: hoop winding and helical winding. This program also
features an in-depth look at the types and uses of filament winding
mandrels.
13 minutes
Pultrusion
The Pultrusion program details the high-throughput, continuous
pultrusion process. Reinforcement materials used to produce
pultrusions are followed step by step through the processfrom
resin saturation and impregnation, to preforming, shaping, curing and
cut-to-length sawing.

resin transfer molding, vacuum infusion, resin film infusion, and more.
The use of preformed reinforcement materials is also examined.
18 minutes
Compression Molding
The use of compression molding in high-volume, high-quality
composite parts production is explored in this program. The various
sheet and bulk molding compounds are detailed as are mold types
usedincluding the flash-type mold, positive-type mold and the
semi-positive-type mold. The transfer molding process, which is a
technological extension of compression molding, is also highlighted.
15 minutes
Composites Post Fabrication & Joining

Most composite parts and components require some type of post
fabrication and or joining for finishing. This program examines the
various methods used to cut, mill, turn, and drill composites

High Speed Machining
High speed machining (HSM) has steadily been gaining acceptance with
manufacturers. This is due in large part to the technological advances that
encompass the high speed machining centers, tooling, programming and
software. This program takes you inside four unique companies that have
successfully implemented and applied high speed machining systems, including:
Trutron Corp., whose use of high speed machining substantially reduced the
number of operations needed to machine EDM electrodes and precision heattreated parts.
Protomatic, Inc., a high-quality prototype and short-run production machining
company who overcame some initial coolant and tool vibration issues during its
HSM transition.
Gosiger 3D, an applications engineering company working with its customers to
replace time- and cost-intensive manufacturing processes entirely with hard
milling and HSM.
Metlfab, Inc., a prototyping company boasting a turnaround time of eight-hours
on some prototypes due to its use of high speed machining.

Minimum Quantity Lubrication

Hundreds of manufacturing operations are finding that methods and tools that
support near-dry machining, or minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), provide
numerous benefits in both metal cutting and forming operations. This program
surveys four very different manufacturers: Ford Motor Company, Amerimax,
Advanced Mold and World Machinery and Saws System Co., that use MQL to
apply only the minimum amount of lubricant needed for each job. Each of these
companies had once relied on traditional flood-coolant methods that supply large
amounts of fluids to the machining process creating high handling, cleaning,
and disposal costs, as well as hazards to plant workers skin and lungs. These
shops have found that MQL systems cut these costs and eliminate the hazards,
while increasing production rates and tool lifetimes.
