Wednesday, November 6th
7:00 AM – Breakfast and Networking
7:30 AM Composites for Executives
This session is a high-level overview of advanced composite materials and applications for the non-technician. It covers the features and benefits of advanced composite materials versus traditional construction materials. Concepts, constituent materials, and processing methods will be covered in this session.
Presented By: Wes Hobbs, M. Ed., Lead Composites Instructor, Davis Technical College and James Jones, Lead Technical Support Manager, Composites One
8:30 AM Industry Panel: Leveraging Partnerships to Recruit, Develop & Retain a Skilled Workforce
Panelists will discuss ways partnering with local training and education providers is effective to address future workforce needs, as well as developing and retaining existing employees.
9:00 AM Welcome Address
Marcy Offner, Director of Marketing Communications, Composites One; John Hopkins, CEO, IACMI – The Composites Institute and Darin Brush, President and CEO, Davis Technical College
9:30 AM Keynote Address
Ginger Chinn, Managing Director of Business Services, Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development
10:00 AM Machinable Media for Tooling
There are a variety of pattern materials available for producing master models: wood, plaster, metal, and polymer foam. This session will explore various pattern material options, focusing on foam tooling boards, for rapidly producing accurate, cost effective master models.
Presented By: Craig Kehron, Business Development Manager, General Plastics
10:30 AM Infused Carbon Fiber Tooling
Vacuum Infusion Processing (VIP), sometimes referred to as VARTM, is a viable option for constructing cost effective tools capable of 350F service temperatures. This demonstration will showcase the production of a carbon fiber/epoxy mold using Chomarat’s C-weave carbon fiber, Vectorply’s C-4QX 9400 quadraxial carbon fiber tooling fabric, and Endurance Technologies’ 4000 series epoxy infusion resins.
Presented By: Chris Mikesell, Sales Manager – Carbon, Chomarat; Mike Ditzler, Field Engineer, Vectorply; Juan Juarez, National Sales Manager, Edurance Technologies; and Neil Smith, Technical Support Manager, Composites One
11:30 AM 3D Printing / Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing is increasingly being used to build prototypes, tooling, and production parts due to its speed and cost effectiveness for rapid production of low volume parts. Coatings have been developed to finish the printed parts, whether used for tool surfaces or cosmetic surfaces on production parts.
Presented By: Rick Pauer, Applications Manager, Polynt Composites USA and Neil Smith, Technical Support Manager, Composites One
12:00 PM Lunch – Visit our Sponsor Tables
12:45 p.m. Low Temperature Prepreg Tooling Systems
Low temperature curing tooling prepregs allow the cost effective construction of accurate tools for molding prepreg parts. This session will explore Solvay’s LTM prepreg options in traditional and their labor saving Dform formats. A side-by-side demonstration will show the labor saving benefits of Dform over traditional prepreg formats.
Presented By: Matthew Parmental, Advanced Composites Application Specialist, Composites One and Barry Wilson-Smith, Technical Support Manager, Composites One
1:45 PM Epoxy Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) and Bulk Molding Compound (BMC)
Sheet molding compound (SMC) and bulk molding compound (BMC) formats give manufacturers the ability to make accurate composite parts in high volumes. Lattice Composites epoxy based glass fiber and carbon fiber compounds are single component systems engineered to replace traditional composite and metals in structural applications. They are designed to combine ease of processing with superior mechanical properties.
Presented By: Ruchir Shanbhag, President, Lattice Composites
2:15 PM Break – Visit Our Sponsor Tables
2:30 PM Thermoplastic Composites
A fact-filled review of the manufacture of parts using fiber reinforced thermoplastics. Glass and carbon reinforced polypropylene, PETG, and nylon will be reviewed. Discussion will include tooling and processing of thermoplastics as well as automation of the manufacturing process. Various thermoplastic sample parts will be on hand.
Presented By: Matt Christensen, COO, Oribi
3:00 PM Aerospace Thermoplastics
Presented By: DeWayne Howell, Senior Applications Engineer, Tencate
3:30 PM Infusion for Aerospace
Vacuum Infusion Processing (VIP), known by many other acronyms, has become a viable option in manufacturing aerospace composites. It provides several benefits over autoclave molded prepreg reinforcements, especially for large, complex structures. This session will provide an overview of infusion theory and highlight several aerospace applications of the process and its variants
Presented By: Neil Smith, Technical Support Manager, Composites One
4:00 PM Improved Process Operations, Personnel and Automation for Efficiency in Composites Manufacturing
As more advanced composite products are produced, improved production efficiency is required to grow advanced composites material use. This session will highlight operational improvements in composites fabrication achieved by automating processing, decreasing waste, and lowering production cost.
Presented By: Andrew Pokelwaldt, Director – Certification, ACMA
