Composite Materials: Fabrication Handbook #3 (Composite Garage)

Hands-on projects include an automotive body panel, (formed by using an existing panel to make the mold), a camper shell, and a hollow-body guitar. Composite repairs are also covered in this book, along with a primer on computer-aided analysis of composites structures and an inside look at how professional fabricators build high tech composite parts for aerospace, racing, and the sports industries.

Composite Materials Handbook #3 demonstrates advanced mold making techniques, including the use of routers and CNC machines in the making of molds. The use of silicone-compression molds, to form complex shapes, is also included. This is the book for anyone who's ready to advance beyond the methods and projects presented in the first two volumes. Take your skills to the next level with Composite Materials Handbook #3.
