Dark Matter announces new course schedule for 2013

Re-defining repair course provision Dark Matter’s revised repair courses go well beyond conducting pre-defined repairs as we approach composite repairs from first principles in terms of damage and repair as a process Dark Matter start with understanding the range of composite repairs, identifying & assessing damage, failure modes, identifying materials, dust generation & control and effective use of tools & equipment Dark Matter then advances to repair tooling and routed step-sanded repairs with on-tool extraction and dust containment & control. Dark Matter’s repair courses meet the demands of personnel moving from traditional to advanced composite repair Upcoming courses: 17-21 Sep DMSC53, Resin Infusion Laminating & Light RTM covers all infusion technologies in a single course 1-5 Oct DMSC59, Repair of Composites offers a key to understanding failure of composites and conducting a wide range of composite repairs on a range of materials 7-11 Oct DMSC59A, Advanced Composite Repair Techniques goes beyond standard repairs to advanced repair techniques and repair tooling 22-26 Oct DMSC61, Composite Materials & Processes for Engineers & Designers is Dark Matter’s most popular course to date 11-15 Nov DMSC54, Prepreg Laminating – Stage 1 covers the intricate detail associated with processing prepreg materials applied to laminates 18-22 Nov DMSC55, Prepreg Laminating – Stage 2 covers single and multi-stage processing of prepreg composites with a range of core materials 25-29 Nov DMSC62, Laminate & Tooling Design offers a true progression course for understanding the intricate nature of composite design www.darkmattercomposites.co.uk
