Isn’t this how composites was done before ovens and autoclaves?
Hardly an innovation??
Ah interesting. tbh, I thought the video was terrible and didn’t actually explain their USP until I read the blog so it just comes across as a standard infusion process! Interesting to see if its as good as they claim
What a bunch of bollocks.
No oven. OK. But I wonder what the Tg will be. I read on the blog:
NONA Composites LLC claim laminates with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 400°F/204°C achieved via a two-hour cure and six-hour cool-down cycle, enabling service temperatures up to 350°F/177°C.
So, to go short, an OVEN.
No autoclave. I see that.
In their movie they also claim no post-processing, like machining. How does the part lose its “extra meat” then?
Nice animation, though.
Herman, they have heated moulds, tho they do nor need an oven:tongue:
OK, heated moulds. So much more simple than an oven…
Much much simpler.
They talk only about foam tooling…they say nothing about heated molds. The blog mentions controlling the exotherm and using that heat to cure/postcure…but the video only shows open bagging, no type of heat control.
Sooo…not sure what is going on here. Unless it’s very special resin, the rest, ie: 99% of what they focused on, is normal VARTM…so, I call bollocks as well.
