Corebon (Sweden) has developed patented technology for the production of composite materials and structures which delivers 10X the processing speed while achieving yields up to 98% and reducing energy usage 95% vs. current manufacturing methods. Corebon Technology is based on induction heating, a non-contact method for fast, direct heating of electrically conductive materials.

This technology is already being developed for multiple processes and end uses with leading manufacturers around the world, including:
• Prepreg and liquid resin molding
• Thermoplastic composites and welding
• Pultrusion, press-molding and filament winding
• Fiber and tape production
• Bonding, post-processing and repair.
To accommodate Corebon’s high growth and current composites production commitments, it has acquired an 11,000-square meter facility outside of Malmo and is completing renovations and installations of production equipment, including an automated cutter, six high pressure resin transfer molding (HP-RTM) presses and multiple CNC machining centers.

Kenneth Frogner, head of R&D at Corebon, will present “Cutting Cycle Times in Carbon Fiber Composite Processing Using Induction Heating” at Carbon Fiber 2019 in Knoxville, Tenn., U.S. on November 20, 2019.
