BREAKTHROUGH MOLD PRIMER FOR ADVANCED COMPOSITES: AXEL INTRODUCES XTEND PR-ACP Abstract: It’s common for our customers to be looking for an easy way to refurbish an expensive mold in order to reduce their costs and decrease their downtime. Axel has developed a primer that is extremely hard, durable, high build, and is quick to cure, so that it can help customers rehabilitate or seal microporosity in molds that are made of metals, composites, or woods. During our talk, we will discuss how our new primer works, its features, and how it works in conjunction with the rest of our product line (primers, sealers, and release). As a result of the Axel product line, you will be able to save money and reduce your business’ downtime.

REAL-TIME PROCESS OPTIMIZATION WITH IN-MOLD SENSORS AND MACHINE LEARNING Abstract: sensXPERT is a new data-driven composite manufacturing solution that provides real-time process transparency and enhanced productivity. With the combination of in-mold sensors, data science, and material models, precise material information is measured during the manufacturing process and the most relevant influencing factors are detected and controlled. Results have shown cycle time improvements and scrap reductions in a range of processes, such as compression molding, resin transfer molding, and autoclave curing.
