Kits brochure Optimize your kit Boost your performance ' , lower cost and increase quality

Increase performance and quality Lower the cost Why a kit? You can significantly improve the manufacturing process and quality of composite applications with pre-cut parts (kits). By eliminating the on-site cutting of flat sheets, you can reduce manufacturing time, save labor and material cost. In addition, with the easy assembly and exact fit, you can consistently achieve high quality in less time. • Boost performance in terms of weight, cost and quality • Shorten lay-up time of the core in the mold • Improve surface quality and decrease weight • Minimize the amount of waste handling •...

What are the key success factors for your application? Analyzing your key success factors will help you work with our experts to develop the kit best suited to your application. Surface finish Whether the kit consists of flat sheets or 3D machined parts, surface requirements differ and affect the approach we take for each kit design. For example, the surface requirements are higher on the core when thin laminates are used on an application with high surface finishing demands. Tolerances The tolerance level depends on the type of application, operational requirements and expected operational...

A modular approach allows for more complicated designs to be assembled on site. The light weight makes transport and assembly substantially easier. With core composite materials you can realize your wildest design dreams and create innovative and eyecatching structures.

What are the technical drivers for your application? Together with the key success factors, it is important to analyze the technology used for your application. 6 | Diab Kits brochure Customer manufacturing operations The type of manufacturing operations you run influences the way the kit is designed. It is also important for us to know your workflow as it provides invaluable information on how to pack and sequence the kit in the best way. Composite manufacturing process The manufacturing process you use defines what finishing is used in the kits and how important the tolerances are when...

Ultra-light core composite materials are ideal for weightsensitive applications. Great stiffness and fatigue resistance increase reliability to ensure efficient work throughout the product’s entire lifecycle. Once assembled, core composite materials require a minimum of maintenance.

Designing the optimal kit There are no off-the-shelf kits, which is why we provide solutions rather than products. Our expertise naturally blends with your own key competences. Structural design and core selection To optimize weight and cost, we help you select the most appropriate core for the application and produce the laminate design. Composite manufacturing process We can provide training and help you set up the process that is best suited for your application. Core finishing Diab helps you choose from a wide range of cuts, grooves, perforations and kerfs, each serving a specific...

The Diab kit process -teaming with you for success Customer kit request • Spend some time thinking about the key success factors for your application. • Specify the thicknesses and core properties. Ideally, you can provide a core drawing or mold offset for cores, bevel placement and angles. If this is not possible, we can assist you. • A 3D model and detailed 2D drawings, along with notes, are usually enough to start the kit design process. Kit start-up meeting Together with you, we will go through manufacturing options including: • Finishing selection • Tolerances • Proposals for...
