Laminating
Working towards the cure.
Once optimal material specifications, ply orientations and overlaps are determined, CNC ply cutting and hand lay-up occur in our positive-pressure, climate controlled clean room. Final cure then takes place in one of our six autoclaves.
Our two 6.1m x 1.5m CNC cutting tables efficiently produce accurate ply profiles for components large or small.
An extensive range of autoclaves:
1
Our clean room autoclave is used for pressure de-bulks during laminate buildup — particularly important for complex moulds and to optimise surface finish.
2
Outside the clean room are five additional 90psi autoclaves, varying in internal capacity from 2.0m x 1.2m to 6.1m x 2.5m, with cure temperatures up to 200 degrees Celsius.
3
All Multimatic CFT autoclaves incorporate data recording to track key operating parameters. Cure data is serialised and permanently stored for traceability.
