New OoA/OoO Heating Technologies for In-Situ Composite Processing: Debulk, Compaction, Hot Drape Forming and Repair

Out-of-autoclave (OoA) and out-of-oven (OoO) composites fabrication processes are being deployed increasingly in an effort to improve manufacturing operations and reduce costs. Composite materials and part fabrication specifications that require hot debulk or compaction processes are commonly performed in the oven, which can be inefficient and expensive. This webinar will explore new in-situ OoO/OoA heating solutions for debulk, compaction and repair, including heater mats, heater blankets, heated cauls, heated vacuum bags, heated tooling, hot bonders and controllers designed to provide superior heat uniformity, comformability (flexibility, stretch), net-shaped solutions and advanced process controls. These technologies will be highlighted via an F-35 case study that involves the application of heated caul products.
