Composite
Manufacturers are moving toward light-weight composite materials for their next generation of aircraft. Sonaca is at the forefront of this technology. Our production-process facilities include press, high-temperature autoclaves and out-of-autoclave composite manufacturing as RTM & SQRTM. Our workshops are set up with automated inspection equipment, lay-up (ATL, AFP) and milling.
Parts are manufactured using a variety of materials including epoxies, BMI, polycyanates, polyimides and thermoplastics.
