Introduction to Composite Materials - Theory & Practical

If you’re entering the world of composites and want to improve your core knowledge, this course will give you a better understanding of the fundamentals.

This is a foundational level course where we’ll introduce you to the basics of composites, their composition and how they’re manufactured. You’ll reinforce your knowledge as you get hands-on with some materials and make your own part.

We recommend this course for individuals or groups who are new to composites.

What we’ll cover:

• Defining the term ‘Composite’
• The properties of fibres and resins
• Different types of resin system and reinforcements
• Room and elevated temperature resin systems
• Identifying and comparing weave styles
• The benefits of composites to build components
• Types of manufacturing processes
• Fibre orientation and core materials
