Composites Manufacturing Facility

What are composites?
Fibre reinforced composites - a combination of materials combined in a matrix to achieve particular mechanical properties. Both for structural and aesthetic purposes.

Applications:
Aerospace, Defence, Mining, Marine, Space shuttles, aeroplanes, transport fairings (panels, car and trucking components), yachts & boats, windmill blades, water-tanks, structural & decorative building components, form-work, trailers, eskies, freezer rooms, garden landscaping features, machinery covers, mining equipment, film-sets, special effects theme parks and sub-sea structures.
