This new book from John Wanberg combines materials from four previous
books plus adds a wealth of new material on the latest trends and
techniques in the world of high-tech composite materials.
The modern world we live in often requires components made from
materials that are stronger and lighter than the more common materials
of steel, aluminum, and wood. Today, everything from bicycle frames to
aircraft components are made from composite materials such as Kevlar and
Carbon Fiber. Unlike those other materials, composite components don't
rust or rot, and they won't be dented by a minor impact. With the
growing interest in these new high-tech materials, there are more and
more individuals looking for help in building their own components from
composites.
While most of us assume that building from composites requires special
skills and tooling found only in specialist shops and well-equipped
industrial facilities, nothing could be further from the truth.
Professor of Industrial Design, well-known author John Wanberg uses 176
pages and more than 400 images to explain and illustrate the techniques
and tools that readers need to make their own components from composite
materials. Whether it's a simple piece that requires no mold or a more
elaborate fabrication project that requires both a mold and vacuum
bagging, all the necessary how-to information is contained in this new
book from Wolfgang Publications.
This new book from John Wanberg combines materials from four previous
books plus adds a wealth of new material on the latest trends and
techniques in the world of high-tech composite materials. All of the
projects and techniques included in this 176-page book are aimed at
individuals and small shops.
