The decision was made at the start of S2021 to transition the composite manufaturing process from prepreg to infusion for both Aero and Interiors parts. Some time will be spent onsite after the stay at home order lifts on June 2 to conduct test infusions. The purpose of this is to “fail hard, fail fast” in order to determine a proper process/workflow for when true manufacturing begins.
This page contains all the info on the infusion process including:
Testing plans for the infusion learning period
Lessons learned from testing
Final process outline
Advice and feedback from external sources (team advisors, other teams, etc.)
An effort will also be made to fully document onsite testing with pictures and video to supplement the written documents
Infusion Learning (2 weeks)
Purpose: Get experience with infusing a part from start to finish so we can lock down our process
To hit 2 birds with 1 stone, the parts that will be produced during the learning period will be used as specimens for the material testing project.
