The composite part manufacturing process requires valuable time requiring technicians to tailor materials, including prepeg, advanced reinforcements, vacuum bagging, and processing materials, to fit the mold. In the moment tailoring can lead to inconsistent part quality and performance. Cutting technicians from companies like Aerovac Composites One and Mission Critical Composites are experts at nesting ply shapes to maximize yields and minimize waste of high-value materials. This combined with temperature, humidity and particulate-controlled environments protect materials during processing. When combined with Composites One material and supply chain management solutions, manufacturers can benefit from a streamlined supply chain, simplified cost modeling and reduced overhead costs.
