Composites manufacture

During my time at Kea Aerospace I developed confidence in composites manufacturing.

Projects I led ranged from simple carbon fibre panels to multi-material moving assemblies.

Composites demand patience and diligence, especially for high-performance parts where mechanical properties must be consistent with design specifications.

Skills gained:

- Tooling design, manufacture, prep

- Material selection and handling

- Wet layups

- Infusions

- Pre-preg layups

- Bonding and preparation

- Jig design for manufacturing & assembly

- Finishing

- Use and modification of quality control methods & systems
