There are several reasons why composites are so useful:
- A composite will usually be lighter AND stronger than the metal it replaces.
- Electrically speaking, it is relatively simple to design a non-conductive composite part.
- Composite tooling is less expensive than metal tooling and usually has shorter lead times.
- Liquid plastic and rubber make it possible to reproduce even the most complicated shapes.
Enough aleady!
So read on. In the comfort of that easy chair of yours, learn about what you can do with composites. And then the next time you use that graphite-shafted driver of yours, or watch a top fuel funny car roar down the track, or get on the big-ole-jet-airliner bound for Kookamunga, you can yell out to all who can hear, "Composites Rule!" |

We're not mindreaders, but just the same we are willing to bet that your boating memories were forged in a fiberglass boat. (OK, you present and former Navy guys can be exempt if you want.)
The point is, this is one application for composite materials that is more all-encompassing than most any other. |

| Sort of like lifecasting, except not with humans and the model is probably not alive. |

Ok, so you heat up a sheet of plastic, drape it over a mold, and suck really really hard. What do you get?
Dizzy. |
