Session Summary:
During this session, participants will gain a fundamental understanding of why certain materials/combinations of materials are used in different applications. Participants will learn about specific resin and fiber properties, service temperatures, material limitations, environmental considerations, fiber forms, prepreg vs. dry/wet materials, core materials, the pros and cons of sandwich construction, and quasi-isotropic, balanced, symmetric laminate properties.

Learning Objectives
During this session, participants will learn about:

• Resins and properties; process and service temperatures.
• Fibers and properties; tensile strength and modulus values.
• Fiber forms; unidirectional, bidirectional, multi-axial, etc.
• Typical laminate construction methods and techniques.
• Core materials and sandwich panel construction.

Who Should Attend:

• Tool designers/engineers
• Manufacturing engineers
• Tool fabricators/technicians
• Quality assurance engineers/technicians

Each session includes an approximately 70-minute presentation and a brief Q&A session at the end. Unlimited participants are allowed at each login site. All registrants receive 180 days of free access to the recording of the live session.
