The aerospace industry has embraced composite materials for many years. The drive for more fuel efficient aircraft has given rise to a requirement for lightweight structures for both interior and exterior parts.
As new aircraft are developed by both Airbus and Boeing, composites represents an ever greater percentage of the materials used in their construction.
Codem has been involved in the design and manufacture of tooling for the aerospace industry in both carbon and metallics, good tool design is essential to make component manufacture efficient and consistent.
