This project seeks to address a global challenge amongst composite manufacturers, by aiming to reduce the occurrence of defects arising from resin shrinkage during composite manufacture and maximise surface finish quality out of the mould. Successful execution of this project will lower the failure rate of complex component manufacture, reduce manufacturing cycle times and enhance capabilities in modelling and simulation of composite materials.
Understanding how to control this fundamental problem and eliminate it will create a sustained competitive advantage via technical leadership and increases international recognition to the composite manufacturing industry in Australia.
