This video presents an introduction to composite manufacturing, with a focus on glass fiber composite production. Delivered by Muhammad Aim of Lehun, a lecturer in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, it highlights that more than 75% of composites are thermoset-based, widely applied in aerospace, automotive, marine, sporting goods, and consumer products. Various thermoset composite manufacturing techniques exist, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The video emphasizes that fiber composites are commonly used in sports equipment (such as golf clubs and bicycle frames) as well as in aerospace applications, where over 50% of modern aircraft structures, including the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, are made of composite laminates. Composite manufacturing processes can be divided into two main categories: thermoset and thermoplastic, with the current discussion focusing on thermoset manufacturing methods.
