DMSC52
Spray Lay-up Laminating

Spray lay up is a process that is suited to medium to large mouldings. It is a relatively simple process that is highly dependent on operator skill, in setting up and using the specialist spray equipment in the proper manor, to obtain consistent results.

Typical Attendees
This course is suitable for the training of spray lay up laminators, as well as engineers who need a complete understanding of the process and design aspects of this laminating technique.

Structure
25% theory, 75% practical, 8 delegates maximum, no experience required
