Substrate Prep & Lamination

This is a Shop Floor Position in the Substrate Prep & Lamination department of Symmetrix Composite Tooling, located at 2392 Precision Drive, Minden NV 89423.

Within the scope of composites molding processes, hand lay-up (HLU) is a basic molding method that uses roll stock reinforcement materials such as chopped strand mat, woven roving, knitted fabrics or a range of textile fabrics.

•*_Hand Lay-Up Manual Application*_–The resin is manually mixed with initiator or hardener and applied by pouring, using a brush, paint roller, squeegee, or other device to distribute the resin on the reinforcement.

•*_Hand Lay-Up Mechanical Application*_– Defines the use of a mechanical device to mix and apply resin to the laminate. This includes the spray application of resin to roll stock materials, pressure fed roller application, or the use of an impregnator device.

•*_Spray-up Application*_– This closely related process is also known as “chopping, or chopper gun application”. The spray-up method uses a chopper gun that dispenses resin and continuous strand roving cut into short lengths. The laminate is deposited on the mold as a spray stream of resin and chopped fiber. The spray-up method is used with polyester or vinyl ester resin and glass fiber application.
