Composite Fiberglass
Repair
This course
introduces the fundamentals of working with composite fiberglass
resins,
fabrics, and adhesives. Safety in working with composite materials is
the
foundation of this course. Students will learn to plan and execute
structural
and cosmetic fiberglass repairs. The methods taught are used in both

Introduction to
Vacuum Infusion
Designed
for industry professionals (but others are welcome to attend), this
weeklong
seminar introduces the vacuum infusion process. The vacuum infusion
process has
been features at IBEX as the future of boat manufacturing. It makes a
better
component in a cleaner environment, reducing VOC emissions and costly
waste.
All fabric and cores are loaded into a mold dry, sealed in a bag, and
then the
resin is infused through the laminate stack in one shot.
You
will learn the hands – on
techniques to easily implement this process in your shop. This is a
four day
hands – on workshop.
Dates: TBA
Robotic
Manufacturing
with a CNC Router
This course
introduces how boat and other manufacturers use computers to design and
robotically create components. Design software will be introduced in
the
computer lab, as well as shop time with the CNC router. Topics will
include
basic design and cutting of projects using CAD software, and safe and
efficient
use of the CNC machine. The class will also collaborate on several
projects to
be completed by the end of the course. Come learn to use CNC routing in
your
shop to increase efficiency and minimize costly material fall off.
Dates: TBA
Cost: $60 + $1.30 Insurance +
