Hands-on sessions 2 - Vacuum infusion and prepreg layup

SLC-Lab organises two hands-on sessions with a focus on handling and using composite materials. The second session will deal with vacuum infusion and prepreg layup. (language = Dutch)

The second hands-on session will deal with vacuum infusion and processing prepreg. Both are closed mould technologies, which result in high-quality composite products. The two processes make it possible to produce high-grade composite components in a relatively simple way. During the session we will discuss the materials used and the use of the right strategies in detail.

These sessions are assisted by SLC-Lab, in cooperation with industrial product designer Matthieu Libeert.

The 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.
