Hand laminate

Hand lay-up is the oldest process for the production of glass fibre reinforced plastics. A mould (wood, PU or GRP) is required and is cold-cured in the hand lay-up process. This process allows the parts to be produced in any wall thickness and geometry.  It is particularly suitable for individual pieces, prototypes and small series. Subsequent processing on CN milling centres achieves a high and reproducible accuracy.
