内容简介

COMPOSITESWORLD, the publisher of High-Performance Composites and Composites Technology magazines, has deemed its inaugural COMPOSITESWORLD Expo 2008 Technical Conference and Exhibition a rousing success. Held at the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel and Convention Center in Sehaumburg. Ill., on Sept. 2-5, 2008, the conference and exhibition drew nearly 1,600 attendees. Among them were many who are new to the industry and are looking for the products, processes and technology needed to help them update their practices and enter the world of composites. The two-track Technical Confer- ence, presented by the COMPOSITES-WORLD Conferences team, focused on the principles of composite design and manufacturing, and received excellent reviews from attendees. The Introductory Track was designed for attendees who are new to the composites industry. Sessions acquainted them with the properties of fiber-reinforced polymers, the principles of CAD/CAM design and the unique challenges involved in manufacturing with composites. Sessions also outlined the wide variety of manufacturing processes that can be used to form composites, with advice on how to select the process that will best accomplish the goals in a particular application.
