Dimensional consistency is key for decreasing internal registration scrap at the board shop.
In mold coating and powder coating of composites and thermoplastics. Relationship between processing windows and material chemo-rheology. Minimize the use of primers and eliminate paint pops. The main reason that structural composites, have not achieved their full potential is that up to now they have been designed for performance without much regard for manufacturing. We will look at developing structural composite parts as an alternative to metals, in particular suspension links, with design for manufacturing and performance from the beginning.
