Overview

Learn about the constituents of composites, including fibers, matrix, and sandwich cores and their terminology. Composite manufacturing is ready to meet the demands of the modern world, including groundbreaking vehicles and aeronautical designs, which require ever lighter and stronger materials. Commonly associated with carbon fiber processes, composites are a combination of two materials to form a polymer with properties that would be hard to produce with a single material alone. The resulting composites are durable and light. This course teaches the fundamentals of composite materials.

  1. Materials
    1. Fiber reinforcements
    2. Reinforcement Fiber: Terminology, Types, and Formats
    3. Matrix: Resins
    4. Sandwich structures and cores

About Author

As the author of the Addcomposites blog, Pravin Luthada's insights are forged from a distinguished career in advanced materials, beginning as a space scientist at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). During his tenure, he gained hands-on expertise in manufacturing composite components for satellites and launch vehicles, where he witnessed firsthand the prohibitive costs of traditional Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) systems. This experience became the driving force behind his entrepreneurial venture, Addcomposites Oy, which he co-founded and now leads as CEO. The company is dedicated to democratizing advanced manufacturing by developing patented, plug-and-play AFP toolheads that make automation accessible and affordable. This unique journey from designing space-grade hardware to leading a disruptive technology company provides Pravin with a comprehensive, real-world perspective that informs his writing on the future of the composites industry
