These courses are suitable for everyone involved in any level of technical composites.
Many composite courses focus on the mathematics and analysis of composites. Using software is limited by the fact that it is only a tool, information generated is only as good as the information put into it! What is often missed are the practicalities of working with composites, mainly that the material is produced at the same time as the part. This is where human understanding is required.
To get the most from composite materials, you need to understand how to best use them. Our courses shortcut years of trial and experience and focus on the advantages and limitations of materials, processes, production considerations and controls to form an intuitive and creative approach to composite engineering and design.
Dark Matter Composites Ltd have been writing, delivering and constantly updating these courses for the last 20 years. They are widely recognised as intensive and in-depth, covering current composite materials and processes. We provide an honest and open insight into working with composite materials.

The key focus of this course is for delegates to understand the advantages, as well as limitations (and compromises) made when using composite materials.
The combination of theory and practicals are designed to make delegates think how materials can be best used within a part. This allows delegates to form an intuitive and creative approach to composite engineering with real understanding. One of our most popular courses, this is widely used by technical personnel working in the field of composites. From individuals to large multi-national OEM’s, it has formed the foundation of the composite careers of many working in the composites industry today. |
By the end of our stage 1 course, delegates start to address how to approach working with composites from differing viewpoints such as materials, processes, production, assembly etc.
A direct follow-on course, this week addresses how to approach a wider range of technical issues that are unique to composites. We use a structured, problem-solving approach, discussing real examples and approaches to different solutions, providing a lot of experience in a short time. This course is suitable for anyone who is involved with any technical level of composites, whether it is communicating with sub-suppliers, problem solving production, material selection, processes or detailing composites. It breaks down the complexities of composites into manageable parts that come together through theory and practical sessions. |
