Join Composites One and the Closed Mold Alliance at CAMX 2024 for live process demonstrations highlighting the latest advancements in technologies for Automotive, Aerospace, and Marine manufacturing. Taking place in San Diego, CA from September 9-12, the live demonstrations at Booth AA21 will feature cutting-edge products and processes such as Vacuum Infusion, Light RTM, Reusable Vacuum Bags, Reinforced Thermoplastics, Thermal Expansion Molding, Robotic Sanding & Polishing, and more.

Inside a dedicated, enclosed staging area, attendees will have a clear and safe view of the demonstrations, which are designed to be short, informative, and packed with the latest techniques and tips from the Composites One Technical Team and other industry-leading experts. These sessions are specifically crafted to help manufacturers decide if these processes are suitable for their operations and to share valuable insights with their Teams back home.

Throughout the event, CAMX attendees will witness the latest manufacturing processes used to produce real-world parts for key markets, including Marine, Aerospace, and Automotive. Highlights of the demonstrations from September 10 – 12 include:

  • Crafting a Carbon Fiber Kayak: High-Performance Infusion with MVP, Chomarat, and Polynt featuring Aerovac Process Materials
  • Revolutionizing Thermoplastics: Molding FST Compliant Sandwich Composite Parts with Diab
  • Lightweight Innovation: Net Shape Reusable Vacuum Bag Infusion for Vehicle Battery Boxes with Tailored Fiber Placement Preforms featuring 3A, Vectorply, and Polynt
  • Marine Hardtops Reinvented: Vacuum Infusion vs. Light RTM in Closed Molding with 3A, AOC, Chomarat, and Vectorply featuring Aerovac Process Materials
  • Precision and Performance: Thermal Expansion Molding Carbon Prepreg Sandwich Structures with L&L Products Insitucore
  • Advanced Processing: Braided Carbon/Aramid Prepregs with Temperature-Controlled Tooling and Aerovac Process Materials
  • Mastering Thick Section Infusion: with ExxonMobil Proxxima Resins and Vectorply Fiberglass Reinforcements featuring Aerovac Process Materials
  • Next-Gen Finishing: Dustless Sanding and Robotic Precision with 3M Xtract and Gray Matter Robotics
  • Additional Presentations: Masting Mold Preparation with ChemTrend and Selecting the Perfect Catalyst with United Initiators

The Demo area will be open to visitors on Thursday, September 12, offering a chance to see finished parts, engage with technical experts, and interact with Team Members.
