SLC-Lab organises a few hands-on sessions with a focus on handling and using composite materials. The first session focuses on manual laminating and mould building.

This hands-on session will teach you about building moulds. Because moulds are often created by means of manual laminating, the emphasis of this session will be on this process. During the session you will make a mould and get acquainted with different techniques and tools. Models from which to make a laminated mould will be available. Do you prefer to work on your own model? No problem, let us know when registering. Throughout the day we will increase the process complexity and end with an introduction to closed mould technology.

These sessions will be run by SLC-Lab, in cooperation with Marc De Moor, author of the book ‘cold curing plastics’.

The hands-on session is aimed at designers, technicians and engineering, both starters and experts in composites with some hands-on experience.

Careful: to guarantee the quality of the hands-on sessions the number of participants is limited to ten.
