|
The Composite Materials Manufacturing Science Laboratory is a facility for composite materials product and process development. Pilot- or full-scale prototypes of beams, girders, panels, pipes, connections and other products can be manufactured to develop new products or to optimize existing product lines. A variety of composites processes and curing methods is available, as is 3-phase, 480-volt power. The CMMS Laboratory includes a Resin Infusion Laboratory, a Composites Extrusion Pilot Plant, Strand Composites Pilot Plant, variety of presses, and machining capabilities. |
