Improve performance withworld-class expertiseWould you like to take your products to the next level? Do you have innovative ideas that you wantto realize? Our consultants in CCG (Composite Consulting Group) provide world-class composite engineering expertise and helps you draw the full potential of composite designs. We have extensiveengineering and manufacturing experience from a wide range of industries all over the world.2 Why composite materials?Why CCG?Products made of composite materials offer Improved life cycle cost Lower fuel consumption Higher payload capacity Reduced energy use Decreased environmental impactThis is possible through the higher strength-toweight performance, lower maintenance, corrosionresistance and freedom of design that are just afew of the characteristics of composite materials.By adding other valuable features to the corematerial, such as thermal insulation, low waterabsorption and fire resistance, you will see howcom posite core solutions can contribute to almostany application.We provide a complete set of consulting servicesto bring you the most value-adding offer in thecomposite industry. Our mechanical and processengineers, material scientists, naval architects andcomposite technici ans are key in the developmentand delivery of this offer that includes: Design help Engineering services Testing Process engineering services Tooling and prototyping Materials and equipment TrainingDiab CCG brochure
4 DesignEngineeringComposite materials offer nearly unlimited freedomof design, allowing exploration of innovativedesign concepts, such as free form shapes andmonocoque structures. Our designers use a varietyof industry standard design techniques, fromhand sketches to complete photo-realistic 3Drenderings, to convey composite design concepts.We offer: Conceptual design Structural layout Drafting Rendering Digitizing Part consolidationComposite materials offer novel approaches tostructural engineering, which can dramaticallyincrease the value of product development.Our engineers have in-depth knowledge ofthe performance requirements of compositeproducts, whether it is structural, thermal,fire or cosmetic performance. The result is adesign that balances structural efficiency withease of manufacturing. We offer: Laminate design and optimization Weight, material and cost studies Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Static, non-linear, dynamic response andfatigue Ply-by-ply failure prediction Laminate drawingsDiab CCG brochure
TestingDesign and engineering is only as good as the inputdata and composite material properties are notreadily available in a handbook. CCG maintains anextensive database of composite material properties, including analytical, mechanical, fire, process,thermal and acoustic. We use both internal testequipment and third party laboratories to deliverthe most appropriate solutions to our customers.We offer tests for: Compression Tension Shear Flex Peel Resin Content Impact Etc.6 Diab CCG brochureProcessengineeringCompleting the design on paper or in the computeris only one step in the process of getting yourproducts to the market. Efficient manufacturingis necessary to maintain a competitive edge. CCGuses process specialists throughout the worldto manage projects and resources, developingmanufacturing strategy, material requirements,work instructions and factory setup for yourspecific needs. Process Engineering includesdevelopment, training and implementation ofcomposite manufacturing processes for specificcomposite parts or an entire factory based onstandard composite manufacturing methods.We have expert closed molding knowledge in areassuch as contact molding, vacuum infusion andRTM-light. We offer: Permeability Testing Resin Flow Simulation Bills of Materials Prototype Construction Process Design Work Instructions On Site Training Quality Control Systems
8 Tooling andprototypingMaterials andequipmentMolds for fabricating composite structures arecritical to their ultimate quality. The molds andtools must be designed properly to withstandthe sometimes harsh environment of themolding process in order to ensure part qualityand production longevity. In most cases, themolds for fabricating composite structures arecomposite structures in their own right. CCG offersa comprehensive tooling design service and has abroad network of well trusted manufacturers thatassist our customers in implementing productionof composite parts. We can assist with everythingfrom creating master patterns to mold constructionand break-in. CCG can also make the first prototypesat on-site facilities prior to production.We offer: Proof of Concept Reusable Vacuum Bag First Article Production Master Patterns Direct Tooling High/Low Yield ToolingThe many options for composite materials andprocess equipment are both an advantage anda challenge for businesses that are new tocomposites. A product development project canquickly become overwhelmingly complex withoutthe right guidance. CCG provides specifications,sourcing and supply of raw materials, consumablesand equipment required to properly manufacturecost-effective composite parts. This service roundsout our turnkey solutions for helping you developinnovative products by leveraging the advantagesof composite materials.We offer: Laminate Materials Process Equipment Consumable Materials Tools and AccessoriesDiab CCG brochure
TrainingKnowledge and competence are key assets in anyindustry. Within composites, these talents can behard to come by. CCG offers a complete trainingpackage ensuring that you can continuouslyimprove your products and grow your business.Training seminars and on-site training courses areavailable from Basic to Advanced and are suitablefor shop floor workers, as well as developmentengineers and designers. In addition to customtraining courses, seminars are run regularlythroughout the year on five continents, sothere is likely a course available close to you.The training might include: Vacuum Infusion Processing Light RTM Thermoforming Reusable Vacuum Bag Wind Blade Manufacturing Pre-preg Fabrication Composite Repair Composite Design10 Diab CCG brochure
