Composites
Assignment
read the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and technical data sheet (TDS) for the resins that you're using design and fabricate a 3D mold (~ft2) and produce a fiber composite part in it
Work
For This Assignment I want create a panel that i need to use for my Trolley (Final Project). The material I want to use as fiber, is the Hemp shives. For the resin, I made some research about the use of this material as composite and it's common applications. It is used for buildings, feed, cats litter, panel, and automotive parts. Some exsaples are: The Lotus Elise is the most importan example of this composites:
And other example like this:
Other important example, is this airplane build with hemp shives.
I found some informations about composites created with this material, at this link
It's in italian, but it's a very important research about this composites.
