    Hand Lay Up Process

    Uploaded by

    Hand lay-up is a simple composite production method where reinforcement fibers are laid into a mold by hand and saturated with resin using brushes, rollers, or squeegees. It is suitable for prototypes and low volume production due to the low equipment costs but high labor requirements. The composite part will have a smooth surface against the mold and a rough outside surface.

    HAND LAY UP

    PROCESS
    Hand Lay Up Process

    Hand lay-up is a simple method for


    composite production.
    A mould must be used for hand lay-up
    parts unless the composite is to be joined
    directly to another structure.
    The mold can be as simple as a flat sheet
    or have infinite curves and edges.
    It is a production technique suitable for
    prototypes and low volume production of
    fibre composite material parts.
    The composite part will have a nice
    smooth surface on one side and a very
    rough one on the other.
    Hand Lay-up Process
    Before lay-up, the mould is prepared with a
    release agent to insure that the part will not
    adhere to the mold.
    Reinforcement fibers can be cut and laid in the
    mold.
    Resin must then be catalyzed and added to the
    fibers.
    A brush, roller or squeegee can be used to
    impregnate the fibers with the resin.
    The lay-up technician is responsible for
    controlling the amount of resin and the quality of
    saturation.
    Materials used:
    Glass reinforced resins
    Aramid reinforced epoxy
    Advantages:
    The cost of the production equipment is very low

    Disadvantages:
    The process is very time requiring
    Environmental problems can rise during the
    working procedure.
    Applications
    Aircraft wing
    Motor boat
    Train nose
    Train control console
