SUMMARY:Aria Composites Technologies\, ANDRITZ Schuler\, IACMI/SuRF
DESCRIPTION:Our monthly webinar series “Innovation Insights” continued Monday\, November 17\, as IACMI CCO Jason Gibson moderated discussions on recent technology advancements from IACMI and our members. \nWatch the video \nWe heard from: \nKevin Cain\nCTO\nAria Group / Aria Composites Technologies \nAnnouncing the Launch of Aria Composites Technologies \nAria Group Inc.\, a premier leader in design\, engineering\, prototype development\, and advanced manufacturing solutions for the transportation industry\, proudly announces the launch of its new subsidiary: Aria Composites Technologies (ACT). ACT brings over 30 years of composite design\, analysis\, development\, and manufacturing expertise from Aria Group into a focused\, standalone company dedicated to advancing composite technologies. The team’s deep experience spans carbon fiber and traditional methods including Prepreg\, Infusion\, RTM\, and ICS\, utilizing a wide range of resin systems and reinforcements. \nTheodore Patchel\nSales Manager\, Hydraulic\nANDRITZ Schuler Incorporated\nComposite Presses That Deliver More with Less! \nANDRITZ Schuler provides a comprehensive overview of composite production processes\, emphasizing the versatility and efficiency of its press systems. This presentation showcases compact\, high-precision presses\, ranging from 10\,000 kN to over 160\,000 kN\, that are designed to deliver maximum output with minimal part rejection and support all major composite forming methods (i.e.\, SMC\, BMC\, and RTM). With a focus on energy-efficient operation and reduced costs\, these presses offer scalable solutions for manufacturers seeking quality\, flexibility\, and performance in modern composite part production. \nDavid Okonski\nIACMI\nDeputy Director – Scale-up Research Facility (SuRF) \nUsing Water-Assist to Lightweight an Injection Molded Part \nAlthough not a new technology\, water-assist injection molding (WAIM) is probably underutilized when it comes to the lightweighting of a thermoplastic\, injection-molded part. This presentation will describe the WAIM process and all the associated benefits. The presentation will conclude with a case study that shows how this process technology was effectively used at the Scale-up Research Facility (SuRF) to produce a lightweight\, production-intent cross car beam. Join us for these engaging presentations. \n
