Case Study

This all le something to be desired in the department of eiciency. Even while pumping the
constructed oven with ample heat, they were still having trouble penetrating through all the
layers of carbon fiber. If the right amount of heat didn’t penetrate through all layers, the cure
wouldn’t set completely.
The continued and meticulous attention to the details of the process meant they had to
babysit the cure, raising temperatures when needed and making sure they returned to normal
before any damage could be done.
This long, costly, and ineicient process was beginning to eat into the company’s valuable
time. Instead of moving on to the next steps of an important project, crew members were le
waiting for the first project’s curing to complete, which inevitably translated into expensive
downtime and lost opportunity. It’s no wonder Richard was concerned with
this type of operation.
