During my time at Kea Aerospace I developed confidence in composites manufacturing.
Projects I led ranged from simple carbon fibre panels to multi-material moving assemblies.
Composites demand patience and diligence, especially for high-performance parts where mechanical properties must be consistent with design specifications.
Skills gained:
Tooling design, manufacture, prep
Material selection and handling
Wet layups
Infusions
Pre-preg layups
Bonding and preparation
Jig design for manufacturing & assembly
Finishing
Use and modification of quality control methods & systems
