DMSC51
Wet Lay up Laminating

Wet lay-up is the most widely used laminating process.  We use a structured approach to train delegates to produce quality parts consistently.  Using controlled processing, delegates reduce wastage and generated fumes to comply with new emissions laws.  Working with a large range of materials, tools and laminating techniques, delegates will gain a level of practical competence during the course.

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

Structure
30% theory, 70% practical, 12 delegates maximum, no experience required, please see table below for full course structure.

Course Dates
15-19 May 2023

Price per Delegate
£ 1,920.00     (£ 1600.00 plus £320.00 VAT)
