Product Description
Product Description
Composites Fabrication Handbook #2 is written for those who want to enhance the quality and performance of their composite projects. Learn what it takes to truly optimize a composite lamination for high performance use. Basic mold making is covered in this book to help fabricators produce effective mold systems from a variety of molding materials. Several advanced molding techniques are demonstrated in depth, including vacuum bagging, trapped rubber insert molding, inflatable bladder molding, or resin transfer molding techniques. In the spirit of Composites Fabrication Handbook #1, this book presents each subject in a hands on, practical way.
About the Author
John Wanberg is an Assistant Professor of Industrial Design at Metropolitan State College of Denver where he teaches design materials and studio classes. He has worked professionally in the design and manufacture of varied composite products ranging from wearable medical robotic devices to aftermarket automotive parts and alternatively powered vehicles.

Composite Materials: Fabrication Handbook #2 - must buy for DIY enthusiasts
30 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this item with Composite Materials: Fabrication Handbook #1. Both are well written in a logical fashion and there are a lot of full-coloured pictures which really help with the understanding of the topic. The book is written so that someone with no knowledge of composite materials can easily understand and get into their first project with some level of confidence.
My only complaint is that the text and corresponding pictures are at times not placed near to each other, so there is a good bit of page turning when one wants to get a visual to the text being read. Other than that, this book is a must have for the DIY enthusiast who would like to start working with composite materials.
I am looking forward to starting my first composite materials project within the next few weeks.

Don't hesitate to buy this book. It is needed, along with #1, to get a through enough understanding to get started on your own. Once you have these 2 books they are all you need to get started making parts in your garage. Great Buy!

Good Coverage of Non-structural Composites
21 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Books 1 and 2 provide good photo-coverage of composite introduction and fabrication. Step-by-step details are clearly depicted from the making of simple parts to production tooling. All are done in non-technical, easy-to-understand fashion.
Be aware though, as stated on the covers, these books are in the "garage series" and are geared towards hands-on fabrication (as opposed to design). The emphasis is towards cosmetic rather than high-efficiency structural applications.
So if your interests are towards building hood scoops, cycle fenders, etc, you will find these books highly informative.
If your interest are towards aerospace or racecar structural composites where high-strength and light-weight are paramount, look elsewhere. Also, if you are looking for information on technical design of composites, look elsewhere.
