Advanced Composite Structures:Fabrication and Damage Phase I

This five-day course is our most popular. It is designed for composite parts fabricators, aircraft maintenance personnel, repair station management, inspectors, and anyone who needs to learn a great deal about the fundamentals of advanced composite materials, manufacturing and repair techniques.

This course assumes no prior experience with composites. It is an ideal starting point for those interested in developing their advanced composite expertise with a comprehensive fundamental overview.

Hands-on exercises are extensive, and students will work with fiberglass and Kevlar(r) cloth, carbon fiber unidirectional tape, Nomex(r) honeycomb, and foam core materials. One of the finished parts will be deliberately damaged and repaired using basic repair techniques and "wet" lay-up repair materials and processes. The final repaired part will be cut in half for evaluation of the repair cross section.

For those who desire further training and more difficult repair scenarios, we recommend taking our Advanced Composite Structures: Fabrication and Damage Phase II course directly after this course. A $200 discount is offered when taking the classes concurrently.
