Composite Fabrication Handbook #3 continues this practical,
hands-on series on composites with helpful how-to projects that
cover a variety of topics geared toward assisting home-builders in
completing their composite projects. Handbook #3 starts off where
Handbook #2 ended, expanding on mold-making techniques including
special methods for creating molds and composite copies of existing
parts, fabricating molds from clay models, and making advanced mold
systems using computer modeling software. Several alternative
methods of fabricating one-off parts are presented in this book,
including molding over frameworks and human forms, as well as using
stock composites to build simple structures.Hands-on projects
include an automotive body panel, (formed by using an existing
panel to make the mold), a camper shell, and a hollow-body guitar.
Composite repairs are also covered in this book, along with a
primer on computer-aided analysis of composites structures and an
inside look at how professional fabricators build high tech
composite parts for aerospace, racing and the sports
industries.Composite Materials handbook #3 demonstrates advanced
mold making techniques, including the use of routers and CNC
machines in the making of molds. The use of silicone-compression
molds, to form complex shapes, is also included.This is the book
for anyone who's ready to advance beyond the methods and projects
presented in Handbooks #1 and #2. Like those two books, this one
documents a variety of projects that can be duplicated in your shop
or garage. Take your composite fabrication skills to the next level
with Composite Materials Handbook #3.
