“Fiberforge sees significant potential in the DiscoTape process in forming complex parts from thermoplastic composites. The possibility of discontinuous forming behavior in a nearly continuous material is very intriguing and we look forward to exploring the possibilities and bounds of this new material format.” stated Campbell.
Technical papers on DiscoTape will be presented by Project Engineers Amber Simmons and Elizabeth Thompson at the 2012 SAMPE Conference May 22-24 in Baltimore. Exhibits by Fiberforge (booth 208) and Pepin Associates (booth 1545) will be on display.
