‘Composites’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release SKF systems boost uptime of Isis neutron choppers from SKF UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "SKF rolling bearings and condition monitoring systems are maximising the uptime of precision devices used in the Isis neutron and muon source at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Delcam seminar addresses composites in aerospace from Delcam: "Delcam is to host a free seminar on composites in aerospace at its Birmingham headquarters on 25 November. ".
 
In October 2009, we covered the news from MWP Summit - take a look at MWP 2009 Summit focuses on sustainability which says: "MWP will present the 2009 Summit for business leaders, managers and entrepreneurs in the manufacturing sector.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Vistagy, SpaceX uses FiberSIM software for spacecraft, as well as Vistagy supplies Fibersim for unmanned vehicles from Vistagy, and H4 unveils Maritex Aquarius composite material from H4 Marine.
